League of Heroes........Guardians of Earth (Darkkitten9389 & CrimsonMaster)

Image flew the Raven's jet as Alexandria went over details. This would be like a raid. A quick strike mission, not unlike the days when Alexandria was stealing, or when she was working as a spy. Alexandria, Tristan & Image could all alter their forms and enter the base in some fashion. Area 51 was a very secure facility. The government had sensors in the ground which could detect movement for miles around. They also had radar covering the air over the base. However, their radar couldn't detect a cloaked object. While cloaked, the Raven jets absorbed radar waves instead of letting them bounce off. Radar waves bouncing off objects makes them visible to eyes on the ground. Being absorbed, meant there was nothing there to see. The cloaking device had been turned on since the jet to flight. It was base to not advertise. Military bases could always send up jets to see who and what the unidentified object was.

This mission was Alexandria's to lead. Image & Tristan would follow what she did and said. As the Raven jet approached Area 51. Image brought the jet to 1,000 feet over the base before placing the jet into hover mode. Alexandria & Tristan would use an escape hatch in the belly of the jet. It was best not to lower the ramp with an active radar scanning the area. Tristan became air, slipping out of the hatch. Image shifted his form. He became like a ghost and phased through the jet. They would regroup on the ground, near the buildings. Only in this area was it safe to take a solid form. There were roaming guards to keep an eye out for. But, Alexandria had a plan of action once the group was down.
 
Once they were in the air and the coordinates set, Alexandria let Image take over while she went over the details for this mission. She spoke to the two males about the lay out of the Area 51 facility. She had wanted to go to the facility on her own to study the layout and learn of the personelle who worked there, as well as who was in charge and where her friend was being held before she made a plan on extracting him some how. However, Eric wanted her to go with backup, so she said yes. She went over the security that the base had and with their cloaking device on, they would be able to hide from their detection.

"I want us to slip in and out as quickly as we can without much, if any, attention brought to us." she softly told them. "The government already strongly dislikes us, so it's best if they don't know we were ever here." She knew that Image could phase through things, so that was how he would be getting in while she and Tristan could change their forms as well. Once the jet was brought to 1,000 ft over the base, it was placed into hover mode and she stood from her seat. Moving to the escape hatch in the belly of the jet, Alexandria watched the other two change and leave before she followed.

Shifting into air, she slipped out and was quickly moving towards the ground. She and Tristan were able to become completely invisible because of their air forms. On the ground, Alexandria looked the base over, her sharp gaze watching everything around them. Normally she would take down the guards, but that would alert others of someone having been there that shouldn't of. So they would have to use either a diversionary tactic or they had to sneak past the roaming guards. She softly asked the others of their opinion. She would prefer to sneak in now and use a diversionary tactic to get back out.
 
Neither Image, nor Tristan had an opinion. They went with what Alexandria wanted to do. Since she wanted to sneak in and escape using a diversionary tactic. That's what they wanted to do. The only trouble was. No one knew how deep the base went underground. Alexandria knew it was many levels deep, but she didn't know how many levels there were. She also didn't know where Dak would be kept. Although, it made sense that he would be kept on the lowest level. In most underground bases. That's where prisoners were often kept. Down at the very bottom. Tristan did suggested that he and Alexandria should use other forms. Not something which would identify them. Something no one had seen before. Alexandria had many forms she could take. Some hadn't been seen in many years. However, the government would have a strong belief of who was behind any escape. They had no real proof that Alexandria took part in the escape of Cassy or Chip. But, because of how these people escaped, the things which happened to hamper the agents trying to take them into custody. There was little doubt that Alexandria was involved. She had such powers, as did Tristan. The government didn't know who Tristan was, They had no name for him. However, they knew he had similar powers and was linked to Scarlet Cat.

Once it was decided they would sneak into the base. The small group broke up. They needed to search the base to find Dak. There was one problem with Alexandria & Tristan using their air form. They couldn't use their communicators while in that form. They would have to switch into a solid form to speak and for any signal to be sent. Image shifted into a ghost like form. He then phased into the ground. Disappearing from sight. Tristan became air, entering a nearby air shaft. The base had many air shafts and made for quick travel around the entire base. The base was very large underground and it would take time to search each level. Being air, Alexandria & Tristan could move swiftly through every room before moving on. Three levels above the lower level, was where Dak was kept. The last three levels were for special projects. Alexandria would find Dak in a comatose state. He was wearing a helmet which kept his mental powers from being used, He also wore a re-stricter collar which kept his other powers in check. Dak was like a zombie, trapped within his own mind. He sat on his bed, just staring straight ahead.
 
Once it was decided they would sneak in, they broke up and head inside. It would be touch and go when it came to them keeping in contact, but Alexandria knew of ways to sneak around in her solid forms and since Tristan had been raised by his father, he would know the art of stealth. It was an important lesson that his father had taught her as well. Once Image disappeared into the ground and Tristan became air, Alexandria looked around before coming air as well and she entered the same air shaft that Tristan had.

However, she quickly took a different direction then he had. Alexandria traveled swiftly through the base, helping Tristan cover the first floor and then moving deeper. Level by level they traveled through the base before Alexandria finally found Dak. She was three levels above the bottom level when she came upon the alien. When she came upon the room he was in, she entered and paused when she saw him. She saw the blank look on his face and her heart went out to the alien.

Shaking herself out of her surprise, she slipped out of the room and easily found the closest bathroom where she contacted Tristan and Image after making sure that no one was in there. She words were whispered just in case though. The woman let them know that she found Dak on the third to last level. Once they were informed on where she and Dak were, she returned to where Dak's room was and while still in her air form, she began to inspect the room, searching for camera's and any kind of listening devices. She wanted to make it more difficult for them to see what was going on with Dak. Perhaps Image could do something if there were any.
 
This was Area 51. A special government base, not some standard military base. The base was covered with high tech listening and recording devices. They even had a scanning device made by Reed Enterprises. Alexandria would know that the government bought several scanning devices. She wouldn't know one was placed inside the base she was breaking into. Alexandria was going up against the technology created by her brother and sold by the company she owned part of. It wasn't quite as sophisticated as the technology used by Raven, or in the cave. However, it was still very formidable. It was created at Reed Enterprises and designed by Eric. Tristan was the first to arrive in Dak's cell after Alexandria contacted him. He remained in his air form. Not knowing what they were facing. Tristan was sure this place was wired. It was a cell with an Alien held inside.

Moments later, Image phased through the floor. : Mother......I disconnected the cameras and microphones.......However this won't keep them from detecting us......Once they realize the cameras are down......They will send guards to check this area.......We may have 30 seconds at most. " Image said while Dak remained seated. His eyes staring straight ahead. Tristan became solid. He was in his Element Man form. In this form, Tristan's head was white, no hair, his chest was rock, his right arm & leg was metal, his left & leg was wood. The device on Dak's head was sophisticated. The device around his neck was similar to devices made by Reed Enterprises. " What should we do with him mom? " Tristan asked while he studied the device on Dak's head. Clearly it was keeping the Martian from using his mental powers.
 
When Tristan joined her in the cell, Alexandria was close to Dak, though still in her air form so she wouldn't be seen. She was studying the devices on Dak with a small frown on her face as she stood there before the alien. the device was like those made by Reed Enterprises. She didn't even look when Tristan appeared and it was only when Image phased through the floor that she looked away from Dak. "His powers would be useful on getting out of here, but it would be best if we waited until we were away from here to remove the devices." she told them. She wanted Eric's advice on how to best go about removing the devices, not wanting to harm the alien and not wanting anyone else to be harmed.

Looking at Image, she told him that she wanted him and Tristan to get Dak out of the building. "Be careful when getting out. I will draw their attention away from here." she told the two men. "Get him out quickly." She knew that she and Tristan would be able to get out with ease, as could Image. But it would be harder to get Dak out and she wanted her boys to get him out because they would be able to protect the alien while she drew attention away from the cells area. She was lucky that even though the government knew about some of her abilities, they didn't know all of them. And it was her unknown abilities that she was going to use to distract the people working in the base.
 
Area 51 was a highly secured base, above and below ground. The government had bought the best security detection devices. Many of which, were bought from Reed Enterprises. It was a shame Eric had stayed behind. Had he come along. He could have detected his own devices and used them against those manning the base. Eric & Alexandria felt it was best that he stay away. Raven would have been spotted and that would have given the government evidence to use against them. Alexandria, Tristan and Image would have to do this the hard way. And, it didn't take long for the hard way to start. As Image said, it wouldn't take long before the small group was found. Just after Alexandria spoke of getting Dak out. Alarms went off. The group would have to move and move fast. " We've been detected. " Image spoke as he shifted into his solid form. Tristan also moved into a solid form. They took Dak by his arms, lifting the Martian from the bed he was sitting on. Image said he would get Dak to the surface. The android become ghost like again, he used his power to change Dak as well. Image & Dak disappeared into the wall. " I have a feeling getting out will be harder then getting in. " Tristan said to his mother. The sound of running feet could be heard. These were the guards Image warned about.

As the soldiers approached the cell area. Their voices could also be heard. They obviously knew someone with super powers was inside the base and on this level. Tristan wasn't sure what his mother planned to do. She would have something in mind. That much he knew. Tristan became air again. He entered the air shift, heading upwards. The soldiers arrived at the cell. They could see no one was here. One warned that the prisoner was gone. Another had a scanning device. This device was picking up on Alexandria's brainwaves. Even in her air form, Alexandria's brain gave off electrical impulses. This device was created to detect such impulses. The device wasn't bought from Reed Enterprise. The device was made by WentCorp. Designed by Alexander Wentworth after his detailed work with mutants and enhanced humans. Alexander's company was behind "Project H", to study, create and reshape those with powers & abilities. Wentworth even helped the government set up their "Project Icarus". The government's own creation project for beings with superpowers. The soldier with the scanning device warned the others that someone was still here. He was zeroing in on Alexandria's position. The five other men readied their energy weapons for firing. Their back up was already on it's way.
 
Shortly after she spoke of getting Dak out, the alarms began to go off and the shifter glanced at the others. They needed to get out of there and fast. "Indeed we have." she replied to Image as he shifted into his solid form. She briefly looked at Tristan as he moved into a solid form, both of her sons taking the martian from the bed and lifting him. Image told them that he would get Dak to the surface and she nodded. "Get him away from the base." she told Image before he became ghost like again and used his power to change Dak as well. Once they were gone, Alexandria looked at Tristan as he commented on it being more difficult getting out then it had been getting in.

A moment later she heard the sound of running feet. She could hear the sounds of voices as well. "Go, Tristan. I'll be along soon enough." she told him. Watching him, she watched her son become air again and disappear, heading upwards. With him gone, she smirked to herself before following him into the air shaft. However, she didn't head straight up and towards the surface. She moved towards a different part of the level that the cell was on. The device they were using would follow her brainwaves. A good distance away from the soldiers, Alexandria emerged from the air shaft and she took on a visible form.

This form however, was unlike anything she'd ever taken before. She had an extremely otherworldly look to her. She had decided on an unnaturally beautiful form. Her form slender and curvy, but her limbs looked longer then any humans. Her facial features were also quite angular and elfin in appearance with bright blue eyes, while her hair was long and was a white-blonde color. In this new form, she decided a matching outfit was needed for such a look, so she went with a wispy translucent white gown. This form was merely part of a distraction however. Because of what she was, she could use the abilities of her feline form in her different forms. And one thing that others didn't know about her was of her pheromones that came with her Feline shifter genes. The same pheromones which drew people to her.

Alexandria could control this and that's what she used to her advantage. With her sons away from where she was, she began to fill the air with these same pheromones. Normally she would use them to just distract someone a little, but this was a serious situation, so she hit the soldiers with them and hit them hard. The area quickly became flooded with them. She and her family knew that they had the ability to cloud a persons mind if she used them, but it wasn't entirely known what would happen if she really overwhelmed someone with them. Right away she could see it beginning to effect them, causing the soldiers to falter a bit when it first hit them. She just needed them in enough of a daze for her to escape and get far enough away that they couldn't track her.
 
Alexandria's pheromones could effect humans, and other humanoids She could use her pheromones like a weapon. Alexandria had that kind of control. She could make normal humans melt and become putty in her hands. There was a normal amount of pheromones which came from Alexandria naturally. This was part of her feline side. The female felines used them to get mates and lovers. While most felines had only one mate. They were free to have as many lovers as they wanted. A few felines, mostly of royal blood, had more then one mate. The choice was made by the female felines. All felines took part in and enjoyed incest. The feline race didn't have a problem with incest. Sex was apart of their everyday lives. Sex should be shared with those one loves. This included family members. Incest became part of the Reed Family after Alexandria joined. She had a natural attraction for those in her pride. It was Alexandria who showed them how wonderful incest sex was.

The soldiers had no protection against Alexandria's pheromones. Their tracking device led them to where she stood. The men were quickly over taken. The men suddenly had this feeling of want and need growing inside of them. Alexandria had become an erotic vision to them. They all started saying how much they wanted, needed and had to have her. The cocks on the guards became hard, very quickly. They put their weapons down and began undoing their pants. Each man pulled his hard cock from his pants. All looked longingly at Alexandria. The lust they now had for her was in their eyes. One soldier spoke of how much he loved the woman standing before him. How he needed to fuck her, here and now.
 
Alexandria stood there watching as the men fell victim to her pheromones and her blue eyes sparkled as she watched them. Her feline side was showing a little more as she used this rarely used ability. It was how she used to bend her targets to her will when she was a spy, but she never used it to this extent. The pheromones in the air took over the men instantly and they had a feeling of want and need growing in them and it was doing so quickly. Their bodies would begin to feel hot with their rising temperatures as their lust ran wild and she gazed at them, the woman biting her bottom lip 'innocently'. The mere action of her capturing the plump, pink bottom lip between her teen would make their arousal surge.

Soon the men were putting down their weapons and undoing their pants, each and every one pulling his cock from their pants while looking longingly at her. One of them said that he loved her and needed to fuck her, right there and then. The woman moved towards him slowly, her hips swaying tantalizingly, her body seeming to glide towards the group of men. "But... we're sure to be interrupted." she said softly. Her voice was soft and airy, the sound sweet to the group. "I can hear others coming. They would make you share me." She looked at the men with such an innocent, yet seductive look. Reaching out, she began to stroke his cock with her fingers. "Send them away and the group of you can fuck me as much as you want."
 
The six men stood, staring at the vision before them. Alexandria looked so hot and sexy. Like an angel who'd just fallen and was looking for raw, nasty sex. Alexandria had these men in her power. They were helpless against her pheromones. Totally in her control. The first man who spoke with Alexandria, now listened as she spoke. Alexandria said the others approaching would interrupt them. She also spoke of this group having to share her with those still on their way. That wasn't such a bad thing. These men would share Alexandria with anyone. Alexandria could have a hundred horny men to fuck and suck. She did have something else in mind. Alexandria spoke of letting these six use her. If they called off those approaching. The first man nodded his head. He spoke of doing as the women wanted. " This is beta team leader........The martian has escaped........The cell level is secure. " The spoke into the microphone attached to his gear. A voice came back saying confirming what the man said. That same voice then ordered all teams to search the upper levels.

" I did as you asked.........I've sent them away. " The man said while he looked deeply into Alexandria's eyes. The other teams did stop and turn around. They began moving back up to the levels above. Alexandria was now alone with these six soldiers. The other men joined their leader. Each of their cocks were rock hard. The men formed a semi circle around the lovely woman. They were waiting for Alexandria to let them know she was ready. These men would do whatever Alexandria asked. All they wanted was her. They wanted to fuck her in every way possible. However, that wouldn't be happening. There was an electrical discharge which struck the soldiers. Each of them fell to the floor, knocked out. " You're under arrest........Oh and your pheromones won't work on us. " A female voice came from behind Alexandria. She would find two people standing behind. One she knew as Dreadnought, the former leader of Alexander Wentworth's team of heroes. At least it was the Dreadnought armor. Alexandria never knew who wore the armor. The other was new to Alexandria. A half human female, half machine known as Cyborg. The cameras around the cell had been taken down, but not on the rest of the level.
 
After speaking of the soldiers sending the other men away, she waited, her hand still caressing the one mans cock as he contacted the microphone attached to his gear and said that the martian had escaped and the cell level was secure. He then looked deep in her eyes and Alexandria smiled as she was told that he'd sent the others away. While she stood close to him, the others already there began to gather around her and she giggled while running her finger along his cheek. However, she also heard two other sets of footsteps approaching and she sighed while leaning in and kissing the man briefly. "You'll have to come find me." she whispered to him moments before an electrical discharge struck the soldiers and they all fell around her, knocked out.

Hearing a new, female voice, Alexandria turned and saw the two figures standing there. The one told her that she was under arrest and that her pheromones wouldn't work on them. She recognized Dreadnought and tense a little. The leader of Alexander Wentworth's team was not someone she wanted to fight against. But she also had no plans of fighting against them. She stood there and her innocent appearance began to change. "You cost me my meal." she said. Alexandria knew that she had to make the government think that they had been attacked by someone or something that couldn't be connected to her. So she went for a being from another species or even a completely different planet.

As she spoke, her gaze darkened with anger and while she remained beautiful, there was something scary about her at the same time. The woman glared at them before lunging suddenly. However, she didn't lunge at them. Instead, she threw herself at a locked door close to her and when her body collided with it, it seemed to explode in a cloud of black sand. The moment she collided, she shifted and easily slipped through the seams of the door and once on the other side, she was in her air form and she was quickly moving up into the air ducts and speeding towards the surface.

All that was left behind was bits of dusty, black sand and footage of an otherworldly beautiful woman who had controlled the men with ease before fleeing. When the sand was tested, it wouldn't be any different then the sand found on the beach. The only thing different was the color. Even the pheromones would quickly fade without a trace. The men would recover after some time, but they would always remember the intense lust and want they had for the unknown being who had appeared before them. However, at the same time, the detector that the one soldier had been using was also gone.
 
Cyborg & Dreadnought took of for the surface. That's where Dak had been taken, and that's where the strange woman was going. While Alexandria had taken the scanning device. She was dealing with two of Alexander Wentworth's creations. He was the designer of the scanning device. Cyborg had that ability built into her hard drive. She was tracking Alexandria as she continued to move upwards. Alexander also designed and built the Dreadnought armor. While the armor didn't have the ability to track by brainwaves. The wearer didn't have too. That's what Cyborg was doing. Things on the surface hadn't remained quiet. Soldiers were already on guard by the time Image reached the surface. The android was spotted leaving the ground with Dak. The soldier's weapons were ineffective against Image in his phased form. However, they did have other weapons on the base, made by Wentworth which did work. Image was caught in a gravity wave. His body suddenly became very dense. So heavy Image could no longer fly. He crashed into ground while still holding Dak. Tristan arrived in time to trash the gravity weapon. He changed from air into his metal form.

After destroying the weapon. Tristan went to where Image & Dak laid on the ground. He knelt down as Image was recovering. Tristan helped the android up. The wrecked gravity weapon was on fire behind them. A growl caught Tristan's attention. He and Image turned to see three figures standing, ready for a fight. The three figures were Twister, Gator and the 30 foot tall Humongous. Twister demanded that they surrender. " Not likely. " Tristan replied. " You should have brought more then three........You'll need someone to carry you three away when we're done with you. " Tristan spoke boldly. He was Alexandria's son after all. Born with the same attitude she had when younger. Alexandria was more seasoned these days, and far less reckless then in her youth. Gator informed the heroes that there was more coming. He said they should be here soon. Moments later, a jet appeared over the base. It came down, landing nearby. The backup Gator had spoke of was here.
 
Alexandria moved faster then Cyborg and Dreadnought, speeding through the bases ventilation to the surface. There she found her sons and when she saw them being confronted by Twister, Gator and the 30ft tall Humongous. Seeing this, she growled to herself and instantly changed into her earthform. In this form, she became one with the ground itself and spread herself out. Much like she had with the ocean so long ago, she took control of it while listening to gator inform the heroes that there were more coming. And sure enough, a jet appeared over the base and it came down, landing nearby.

The moment it landed, the earth began to shake. It was a faint rumble at first before getting stronger and stronger. Because of her training with her own son, Alexandria had learned to do such things. She made the earth shake beneath the feet of everyone there and it got stronger, soon moving from an earthquake that ranged somewhere between 2.5 and 5.4, to one that was between 5.5 and 6.0. It was even threatening to become higher.

As the earth shook, some cracks formed in the ground close to the jet, threatening to split open the earth and possibly even pull the jet and those inside, into it. Tristan would be able to feel his mothers presence and know that she was the one doing this. Alexandria just hoped that he and Image wouldn't be recognized as who they really were. They really didn't need the trouble that kind of attention could cause.
 
Neither Tristan, nor Image had ever been seen in public. Not often enough for anyone to know who they were. This didn't mean the government wouldn't tie them to Scarlet Cat & Raven, later on. However, no one at Area 51 would know them. Besides, the current government would point their finger at Scarlet Cat. They would blame her for what happened here. It didn't matter whether they had evidence to prove this or not. They would just blame her because she had such powers. That was enough for President Gates. His hatred of people with superpowers was well known. Gates had tried and failed to make mutants register with the government. He was stopped because Alexandria & Eric worked against him. Railing support to defeat his mutant registration bill. Now that Gates was president, he had the power to do things without anyone getting in his way. All he needed was a few incidents, and some good public relation spins of the truth to push his agenda through. The earthquake provided by Alexandria wasn't helping her cause.

Tristan did know his mother had arrived on the surface. However, he was a head strong young man. Tristan was spoiling for a fight and Alexandria wasn't helping. He was a lot like his mother when she was younger. Tristan may have been raised by his father, but he was his mother's son. Both Image & Tristan found themselves knocked to the ground when the earth started moving. Twister, Gator and Humongous were also knocked down. Cyborg & Dreadnought soon reached the surface. They were in flight mode and not effected by Alexandria's shaking of the ground. A man flew from the rear of the shaking jet. He hovered in the air, above the action below. This man was new to Alexandria, Image and Tristan. None had seen Superior Man before today. An known woman followed from the jet. She was instructed by Superior Man to deal with the earthquake. He called her Quake. " I'm on it Superior Man! " The young woman said before she knelt down, placing her hands against the ground. Quake then began absorbing all the energy Alexandria was putting out to make the ground shake. As the seismic activity began to die down. A second woman appeared from the jet. She floated out the rear door, just before the jet lifted off. Another unknown for Alexandria and her team. This woman was unlike anyone they'd ever seen before. She was dressed in all red. Even the parts of her skin which showed, was red. The only thing on her which was a different color, was her glowing yellow eyes. Quake was able to closed the cracks in the ground. Superior Man then called for those who invaded the government base to surrender. " We need backup!.......And we need it now! " Tristan growled out through his teeth.
 
Alexandria had felt the jet land and decided to use the earthquake as a way to force those inside, out of the jet quickly and to also knock Twister, Gator and Humongous off their feet. From the jet came a man who hovered in the air, soon followed by a woman who was instructed by Superiour Man to deal with the earthquake, calling her Quake. Alexandria felt the woman beginning to absorb the energy that she was putting out and she quit putting out the energy, not wanting to exhaust herself. She now had an idea of who all they were going against. The last to emerge from the jet was a woman in red. She wasn't just dressed in red, but her skin was red as well. The only thing not red on her were her eyes.

When Tristan growled out about needing backup, Alexandria emerged from the ground between her sons in a swirl of black sand. Her form was unknown to the others, but her sons would know her. It was the same unnaturally beautiful one that Cyborg and Dreadnought had witnessed briefly. "It's already being taken care of." she softly told Tristan before she motioned towards Dak while glancing at Image. "Be a dear and remove his devices. It seems we'll be in need of his powers." Alexandria had an extra backup plan in case something like this would happen. It was one that she'd thought of and she had asked an ally to be on standby in case she needed them. That ally was Zandora. The young woman was an amazing magic user and she held a great deal of Alexandria's respect. So contacting her through their communicators, Alexandria spoke to Zandora. "My dear, it seems we'll need a bit of your assistance after all." she told Zandora while Image set to work removing the devices from Dak.
 
Image nodded when Alexandria asked him to free Dak from the devices. It wouldn't be difficult for Image. He was well aware of such devices. These devices were made by Reed Enterprises after all. Image took the time to familiarize himself with everything made by the family businesses. He could even give a detailed list of every item made by Reed Enterprises. Cyborg & Dreadnought reached the surface. They flew into the air, then joined their friends on the other side. Image quickly disarmed the device on Dak's head. He then did the same to the power damping collar around the martian's neck. Image was then able to removed them. Dak was groggy from having been under their control. But, he was able to pick up on Alexandria's brainwaves. She was in a form he hadn't seem before, but he knew it was her. "Alexandria?....You came for me?" Dak spoke to Alexandria by telepathy, No one outside of them could hear the conversation.

Image & Tristan helped Dak to his feet. " I order you to surrender........You are out numbered.......Give up now. " Superior Man spoke while he hovered in the air. Tristan shifted into his solid metal form. Dak was still weak, but Alexandria had brought him up to speed during their mental link. Dak took a few deep breathes before he transformed into a Wyrm Dragon. A mythological European dragon. Long body, wings with short legs & arms. This type of dragon was almost snake like. As both sides got ready to fight. Superior Man called out to the red woman. He called her She Demon. Superior Man asked her to cast one of her spells. This made it clear, she was a magic user. However, Alexandria had one of her own on the way. A ball of light soon appeared from nowhere. The ball grew larger. It turned into a swirling mass of light. Zandroa stepped through this portal. She looked at Alexandria, gave her smile before she turned her attention on the other group. Zandora removed her top hat, she then tapped it with her wand. Fog started to flow from the hat. It was quickly filling the area. However, She Demon waved her hand. The fog started to disappear as fast it was being created. " Bitch. " Zandora spoke as she narrowed her eyes. She'd encountered She Demon before. " Time for something cute. " Zandora said. What she said made Tristan look at his mother. " She's going to use something cute? " Tristan didn't understand how something cute was going to help them. He'd never seen Zandora, or her father Zandu in action. Alexandria knew that cute didn't mean it wouldn't be dangerous.
 
Alexandria watched Image from the corner of her eye as he began to work on removing the devices controlling Dak. He disarmed the one on the aliens head before doing the same with the power damping collar around his neck before finally removing them. When they were off, Dak finally spoke to her telepathically and she smiled gently at the Martian. She watched as Image and Tristan helped Dak to his feet and she moved towards the Martian. "Of course I came for you." she replied in their minds, placing a hand upon the Martian's cheek in a friendly manner. "I always come for my friends." To outsiders, the interaction between the female and Dak might look somewhat intimate, like they were more then friends, as Alexandria touched his cheek and smiled at him without speaking. But her family would know the difference in her mannerism.

Then Superior Man spoke up, telling them that they were outnumbered and to give up. This made the otherworldly beauty frown slightly and she looked at him. She finally stepped away from Dak as he took a few deep breaths and then transformed into a Wyrm Dragon. Seeing him in such a form was impressive and she patted his side before moving away from him. Superior Man was calling to the red woman, whom he called She Demon, asking her to cast one of her spells. This told the group that they were dealing with a magic user. However, Alexandria had one of her own on her way. Sure enough a ball of light appeared out of no where and it began to grow larger, turning into a swirling mass of light through which Zandora stepped through and Alexandria smiled at the young woman.

The shifter was quiet as Zandora began to work, beginning to fill the area with fog after tapping her top hat with her wand. However, She Demon disbersed the fog with a wave of her hand. This made Zandora narrow her eyes and call the red figure a bitch before she spoke of it being time for something cute. The mention of this made Traistan look at Alexandria and she chuckled softly. "Cute doesn't mean it's not dangerous, darling." she softly told him. "You should know this all too well." She sent him a wink before she began to change form. Much like Dak, she took on a large form of a dragon. But her form was of a different kind of dragon.

She looked like something out of a painting. Her scales were white, almost the same color as her 'alien' form's pale blonde hair, with an opalescent shine to it. While Alexandria had used mythical creatures before in the past, none from the government had witnessed her using anything like this. Sure they'd seen her as the Gryffin, but a dragon was much bigger and much more dangerous.
 
Tristan watched as his mother transformed into a second dragon. The one Dak became, was longer body wise. Almost snake like, with shorter legs. His dragon form was a dark gray color, while Alexandria became one which was white and had a more massive body. " Oh.....You two are just showing off now. " Tristan teased as he returned his attention to the group before them. Unlike his mother, Tristan couldn't do animal forms. He could change into any humanoid form, and do elements with ease. Tristan had been working with his mother on controlling her elements forms better. Since he moved into Reed Manor. Elements was one area which Alexandria had limited experience with. Her feline DNA made the animal forms come easier for her. This is why Tristan was helping his mother. Tristan was born with very little feline DNA. He was mostly human and shifter. Tristan found the elements easy to master. He'd been doing them since he was a young boy. His current form was Iron.

Zandora smiled as she watched Alexandria change into a dragon. She could change forms as well. However, Zandora was a magic use, like her father. She didn't become the animal like Alexandria did. It was more like creating an outer shell of the animal around her by using magic energy. " Wonderful! " Zandora said to Alexandria. " This is going to be so much fun. " Zandora spoke as she turned to face the others. " My turn.........I learned this little trick from my father. " Zandora announced, she then tapped her wand on the brim of her black top hat. A cute bunny popped it's head out from inside the hat. The bunny then leaped from the hat, onto the ground. A second bunny head appeared. the second bunny soon joined the other one on the ground.

Tristan saw the rabbits jump from the hat. He shook his head. Bunnies were hardly dangerous creatures. This wasn't a Monty Python movie. " We are so doomed. " Tristan said while placing his head into the palm of his right hand. Having never worked with Zandora, or her father. Tristan hadn't seen them use magic before. Zandu & Zandora were world famous for their magic shows. They both dressed like stage magicians, but both were far more powerful. In fact, Zandora was set to become the most powerful magic user Earth had. It was her destiny.

Zandora just smiled after hearing Tristan. He would get a quick lesson on how dangerous these bunnies could be. Alexandria had seen Zandu do the same trick, using one rabbit almost 2 years ago. Zandora place her top hat, back onto her head. She then raised her hands into the air. Zandora began speaking in what seemed like a strange language. She was speaking English backwards. This would be missed by most. Only Alexandria & Image would know this. The two bunnies began to glow. Suddenly, they began to mutant. The cute bunnies became huge demonic looking rabbits from hell. 15 feet tall, with razor sharp fangs. Each one weighting a good ton. Upon seeing the giant, monster rabbits and the two dragons. Superior Man called for his team to attack. They would need to subdue these criminals before taking them in. Superior Man., Dreadnought and Cyborg headed for the dragons. Humongous went for the giant rabbits. Gator, She Demon, Quake and Twister would handle Image, Tristan and Zandora. Twister created several tornadoes to knock their enemy off their feet. However, Zandora used her magic to calm the wild winds.
 
Hearing her son, Alexandria turned her long neck and sent a puff of warm air at her son, a soft sound escaping her that was easily translated as a laugh after he teased about the two shifters just showing off. If Alexandria really wanted to show off, she could of gone much bigger. Perhaps next time they sparred she would. Just to show off. Her attention was drawn to the magic user nearby and she looked at Zandora when she commented and she announced that it was her turn. At the mention of Zandu, Alexandria knew that whatever was coming up next, was sure to be good.

Sure enough, the magic user tapped her hat with her wand and a cute bunny popped its head out of the head before jumping to the ground. This was soon joined by a second one. Alexandria, even now had a child like wonder when it came to magic, something both Zandora and her father enjoyed seeing in the serious heroine, was delighted to see the bunnies. So when Tristan spoke of them being doomed, Alexandria nudged him firmly with her tail. All the while, the white dragon watched the bunnies with fascination. The air began to fill with Zandora's voice as she spoke, speaking backwards and soon the bunnies began to glow before mutating. They became huge demonic beasts, like something from a nightmare and Alexandria glanced at her son once again before looking at Superior Man as he called for his team to attack.

Because with a growl, Alexandria looked at the three coming towards her and Dak before she lunged at them, heading straight for Cyborg. Alexandria's form, though bigger then Daks, was quick and the spines running down her neck and back made her dangerous. They were extremely hard and just as sharp as the rows of razor sharp, jagged teeth that could be seen when the dragon opened her mouth, and the sharp claws on her four feet.
 
Alexandria & Dak were facing three of their enemy's strongest members. Both Cyborg & Dreadnought were enhanced by artificial means. Dreadnought's armor, and Cyborg's robotic implants gave them a wide variety of weapons. They also had many defenses to protect themselves from attacks. The most powerful member of the enemy team, was Superior Man. He was unfamiliar to Alexandria. Who he was, how he gained his abilities and where he came from would remain a mystery. The only thing which would be familiar, was his name. Superior Man. Alexandria would remember an alien who worked for Apocalypse, using the same name. His was slightly different. He called himself Gull, the Superior Man. Gull being the alien's real name. Gull also looked nothing like this human.

Cyborg flew towards the dragon coming at her. She aimed her left fist at the dragon. High pitched sound waves struck Alexandria, head on. This sonic attack would cause great pain, disrupt Alexandria's hearing and make it difficult for her to remain in the air. Dreadnought started an attack on Dak. He used missiles against Dak's tough skin. The exploding missiles made Dak fall back, but he took to the air. Flapping his wings quickly. Once airborne, Dak's body moved like a snake. Shifting back and fourth as if he were swimming on the water. This move made it harder for Dreadnought to keep a proper target lock. Once Alexandria was distracted by the pain. Superior Man made his move, with blinding speed. He grabbed Alexandria's large body, then lifted her above his head. One could say, this Superior Man was truly a super man. To fight against him, one would need Thundra, Stargirl, or Brute. The government didn't know Alexandria and her brother, had Doctor Baxter and his alter ego carefully hidden. This was one secret which even Mister E didn't know about. And he knew damn near everything. No one outside of the Reed Family knew where Brute was. Unleashing Brute, was like using a doomsday device. However, the creature did have an attraction to Alexandria. She was the only one who could control the raging beast.
 
Alexandria rushed at Cyborg, her body moving surprisingly quick for its size. She was almost to her target when Cyborg lifted her fist and suddenly high pitched sound waves hit the dragon head on and it shook Alexandria, the dragon faltering. It was just enough to provide an opening for Superior Man who moved in with blinding speed. Not only was Alexandria in pain due to the sudden attack from the sound waves, but now she was being bodily lifted from the ground and lifted above Superior Man's head. This was very aggravating for the shifter as her larger body squirmed. The female dragon roared and thrashed her long tail before she dissolved, her body changing briefly into sand and she fell down around Superior man and disappeared into the ground.

A moment later she reappeared behind Cyborg, once again in her dragon form and she hit the robotic female as hard with her tale as she could. Alexandria was aware that she wouldn't be able to take on Superior man on her own. He was too strong for her and she wasn't foolish enough to go head to head with him on her own. To fight him, she would need one of her stronger allies with her. Someone such as Thundra, Stargirl or even Brute. Thundra and Stargirl would always be her first choice for back up. But Doctor Baxtor and his alter ego, would only ever be called on for help if she truly needed help and none other could.

Alexandria had promised to help protect Baxter from the government who wanted to use him as some kind of weapon. Baxter and Brute trusted her, something that the woman would never betray. Brute was a dangerous being that couldn't be controlled. At least, not by anyone other then Alexandria herself.
 
Superior Man was lifting the dragon into the air. He planned on taking her high up, then turn her over and speed back towards the ground. His plan would have made Alexandria strike the ground hard. His plan was stopped when Alexandria became sand. Superior Man suddenly found himself lifting nothing. He stopped almost 75 feet off the ground. The sand had fallen down around him. It soon disappeared into the ground. Alexandria quickly reappeared in her dragon form. She was so fast, Cyborg's scanners didn't even pick her up until it was too late. Cyborg was struck hard, sent flying through the area. She finally came down, almost 300 yards area from where she was hit. Cyborg crashed into an above ground hanger. Superior Man turned just after Cyborg was struck. He quickly picked up where the dragon had reappeared. Superior Man pressed his attack by using his heat vision. Two beams of energy hit Alexandria's tough skin.

Tristan had flattened Gator with one blow. His iron hand packed a lot of power. Tristan then found himself under a magic attack. She Demon changed his iron into liquid metal. Tristan melted into the ground. She Demon had controlled his molecules, turning his own shifting power against him. Image blasted She Demon with his eye beams. The android then turned his attention to Superior Man. Image used his eye beams to blast the flying man from the air. Quake, who had been attacking Zandora, along with Twister, turned and attacked Image. She used her vibration powers to hit the android hard. A second shock wave from her cause Image to lose his ability to stand. She had broken the metal supports which acted like bones within his synthetic body. Image had a self healing program, which kicks in when damage is detected. It would take sometime before he was fully repaired.
 
When she hit Cyborg, Alexandria hit her with all her strength, sending the woman a good distance away, crashing down into an above ground hanger. After she was out of the fight for the moment, Alexandria returned her attention to Superior Man as he attacked her with beams of energy. When the beams of energy hit her tough skin, Alexandria snarled angrily and gave a loud growl. However, before she could attack him, Image took down Superior Man himself, hitting him with his own eyebeams to take him out of the air.

In return, however, Quake used her powers to hit the android with a hard vibration. She broke the metal supports within his synthetic body. Alexandria had seen She Demon's magic attack against her one son and now seeing her other go down angered the shifter and it began to show as angrier sounds left the dragon and she moved towards Image. Her large clawed hand came down over him and she carefully picked the android up. As she did, her nostrals were beginning to smoke and her pupils had changed to slits. They needed to get out of there and soon. They had already attracted too much attention and they didn't seem to be faring very well against this group.
 
Quake wasn't worried about the large dragon. Her powers would easily break the bones of this beast. Just like they broke the metal supports which served as bones for Image. The android was done, but he felt no pain. His repair system had already started when Alexandria came over, and picked him. His repair system was like the healing factor which Alexandria had. Quake was ready to strike at the dragon with her vibration power. However, the wind began blowing hard. Like a hurricane was fast approaching. This was very odd since they were so far in land. No hurricane could reach this far in land. The wind wasn't coming from any hurricane. It was coming from Tristan. She Demon used her magic to destabilize his body. Sending him into the ground. But, Tristan didn't stay underground for long. He rose up as air, then became a raging wind. The temperature in the area started to drop quickly. It was suddenly like being inside a blizzard. Blinding snow blowing everywhere.

Dreadnought found his armor starting to freeze up. He lost power and crashed to the ground. Tristan, still in his air form, blew pass his mother's ear. He said this was her chance to get Image back to the jet. Zandora used the sudden snow storm to wrap She Demon up. The other magic user had been taken by surprise when he wind blew and it became cold. Zandora pulled a ribbon from her coat. She tossed this ribbon at She Demon. The ribbon grew as it wrapped around the other magic user. She Demon was trapped for now. " Time for a quick exit! " Zandora yelled out. Dak came towards her. He kept his body low enough for Zandora to jump on his back. She did just this. Zandora leaped onto Dak, then they flew into the air. Dak was following Alexandria. Tristan kept the blizzard up until everyone was safely in the jet and on their way home. He then disappeared, leaving their bewildered foes behind. Tristan caught up with the Raven Jet and slipped inside.

Tristan approached his mother, who was piloting the jet. " Mother......Raven keeps very good records on people with powers.......Whether they're superhuman or mutants.......Some of those people I never saw before........Like that Superior Man.......I think it's a safe bet the government has been tinkering around with creating their own super powered people........I also think it's a safe bet the government plans on using them against us. " Tristan spoke as he sat down in the co pilot's seat. Alexandria and Tristan had a rocky start when they first met. But, she came to love her son, in many ways. Alexandria also learned that Tristan was a very street smart young man. He understood how dangerous a unchecked government could be. Tristan knew that if the government did plan on coming after them. They would need people who could match Raven's team. People like Superior Man & Quake. The question now was. How many super powered people did the government create?

Dak was sitting in the back of the Raven Jet. He was happy to be free, but he had no idea how long he'd kept a prisoner. Image was laying on the other side, acrossed from Dak. Zandora was getting warm after having almost froze from the cold weather Tristan cooked up to help them escape. Her outfit wasn't made for cold weather action. There would be a lot of questions asked once Alexandria got everyone home. She would drop Zandora off before returning to Reed Manor.
