Chapter 20: The Black Order
Greetings True Believers!
We last left Wyldfire outside the ancient Atlantean ruin in the middle of the Sahara desert. As Doc "Medkit" Reynolds patched up Queen Mera - and anyone else needing emergency medical treatment - Feral fumes and Thunderstrike shrugs over the appearance of a second Atlantean atomic hammer! Specifically, one that appeared in a flash of light and flew into Feral's hand!
But then an earthquake rocks the sands as the wind picks up strength. From out of the ruin, a hawk-shaped spacecraft with glowing yellow-gold trim rises up and rockets away to the south! After that, the rumbles stop.
Before anyone can react, a new aircraft appears over the horizon. A matte-black aircraft - large enough to carry a squad of troops - with a deadly look. It rockets in but keeps a safe distance when its VTOL jets set it down on the sand. A ramp lowers and none other than Captain America walks out onto the sand!
He waves! Then walks over with an offering of water, medical supplies, and boxes of the finest Richart gourmet chocolate bars from Paris, France. Since as we all know, True Believers, Cap is just that nice a guy.
Helping carry the supplies are two other men. The first is as tall and broad as Cap and could be an albino with his white skin and hair ... if it wasn't for his gray-blue eyes. He is very similar to the twins at the book auction in Brussels as if he's a blood relation.
As for the second man, he looks suspiciously plain in his charcoal suit, white shirt, and tie. He quickly introduces himself as Phil Coulson, an agent for the United Nations Criminal Law Enforcement branch.
Cap introduces the albino as Maximillian Reinglass, a refugee on the run from Hammer Empire, AIM ... and a shadowy group known as the Black Order.
When introductions are done, Captain America faces the group and explains that Hammer Empire, AIM, and yes the Kryptonians might not be the real problem.
It might actually be the Black Order who wants to use this 'quantum bell' ... or 'bells' on the world. And they need to be stopped.
It's dire warnings, portents and French dark chocolate, True Believers! If Cap's right, then we might all be in big trouble!
