The ship seemed to shift into red alert as the power dampeners failed, and all of the assembled teenagers had their superpowers return. Cautiously, Terra tested to see if she could fly again, and she gently rose a few feet off of the ship's deck. She clenched her fists and tensed her muscles, feeling her strength return, and unintentionally showing off her muscular Viltrumite physique through her skintight suit.

"Here's the welcoming party," she quipped as robotic sentries stormed in.

As they charged in, lasers blasting, Terra weaved and twisted through the air to avoid their laser-fire. There was no telling what they would do if they hit her. Getting close to one, it fired its laser at her at point-blank range, which scored a glancing blow against her shoulder. Terra braced herself, expecting her powers to disappear again, but instead found that it did nothing besides scorch her costume.

"Dampen this," she said as she clasped her fists together and swung them like a hammer into the robot's cranial unit. The thing was tough, but such a concentrated blow was overkill none the less. The force of the attack practically turned the robot inside-out, slamming its entire upper body down through its legs. A burst of machine-lubricant sprayed from the imploded droid, splattering across Terra like artificial gore.

Unflinching, Terra wiped the technological slime from her face and looked back to the others. "We'll need a contingency if your plan doesn't work. I'll fly to the bridge and see if I can get control of the ship from there. Unless you can breathe in space, those escape pods are going to be our last resort."

With that, she took off out of the cargo bay. The robots were tougher than the ship itself, and Terra tore her way through walls and bulkheads like they were made of cardboard. Any robots in her path she swung at while still flying at high speed, knocking their heads off their shoulders like whacking a mailbox with a baseball bat. While the ship was unfamiliar to her, it still obeyed basic design principles, and she found the bridge on the ship's highest deck. A single blow was enough to blast straight through the final bulkhead, leaving Terra alone in the bridge to face the robots that had been left behind to defend it.

"Knock, knock." Was all she said before diving in to battle them for control of the ship.

Tommy’s patience was wearing thin. He had been running all over this ship trying to find the escape pods. So far, all he kept finding were sentinels. One of them blasted him while he was running down the hall way. “Come on! Where are they!”

Finally, he found the room with the weird looking escape pods. There was a control panel in front of them, and Tommy had no idea how to launch. With his super speed, Tommy tried out every possible combination of buttons until something happened. He was getting tired of hearing access denied over and over again. After many attempts, Tommy finally managed to get a pod working. “Ugh, finally. Now I can get out of this hellhole.” He was about to press the launch button, but something stopped him. The other kids. Would it really be fair to leave them to their fate? He didn’t care this much when he was busting out of superjuvie, so why was this a problem now? Then their was that guy who looked like him. What was his deal? “Ugh… damn it!” Tommy sighed, and ran back to get the others.

Tommy raced back to where he came. The others were still standing around talking about fighting that Beyonder thing. Why did he come back to save these idiots? “Ok, listen. I’m only going to say this once. I found the escape pods. If you’re gonna go, do it now. There isn’t much time. This place is crawling with sentinels.” He then put a hand on Billy’s shoulder. “And you…”

Before Tommy could finish that thought, both of their eyes glowed red. Both boys had a vision of the past. In it, they saw a familiar woman that was recognizable to Billy as the Scarlet Witch. Next to her was the red android Vision. Together, the couple were playing with two toddler boys. One toddler had white hair with green eyes, and the other boy looked very much like the mother. There was laughter, and everyone was happy. The vision did not last long, and both boys were brought back to reality.

As soon as his vision returned, Tommy immediately shouted. “Who the hell are you?”

“I could ask you the same thing… I saw… Scarlet Witch and Vision playing with two kids. One of them had white hair like you, and one of them kind of looked like me…”
