All-Star Marvel: Audax Mundus Novus - Season 2

(Collab between Drewvonawesome and Natty)

There was a weird pause to everything when he finally stopped talking. It didn’t help that the first thing to come out of America’s mouth was an interesting new nickname for Teddy. Admittedly Teddy never really had one up to this point like a lot of his fellow agents such as Mockingbird, Hawkeye, and Black Widow. Thinking about it for a moment he actually rather liked Hulkling. Like changling or earthling, but with more Hulk.

Kate apparently agreed as she called him Hulkling as his momentary moment of thought was leaving him in the dust of his new squad. “Oh yeah wait up!” Teddy called out as he hurried after the others. He had to call in a Quinjet pick up for the mission as he rejoined the others. Thankfully he had the qualifications to fly it so him and presumably Humberto didn’t have to fly the other two all the way over to the Savage Lands. Still he couldn’t help but already feel like an outsider. He had read in the paperwork how Kate and America already have an notable history. With America having ended a drug reign Kate’s father was running. In regards to Humberto though Teddy hadn’t even thought that much about him outside of regards to the mission. Not until the group waited for the Quinjet to be delivered to the carrier for them when Humberto glanced over at Teddy.

“...Say wait a second...” Humberto pointed at Teddy who curiously looked over at him. “Teddy? Teddy Altman?”

Pausing confused, Teddy had realized he might not have actually introduced himself to the rest of the group. Suddenly though what Humberto was talking about hit Teddy like a metaphorical fright train. “Holy crap Humberto! Oh my God I can’t believe I didn’t put two and two together.” Quickly the two pounded fists and gave one another a bro hug.

Kate looking on confused as she slowly pulled her purple tinted shades up. “Wait you two know one another?” She asked.

Teddy paused, “Yeah I didn’t even think about it because I’ve just been I guess too much of an airhead. No Humberto and I both did plenty of growing up on this helicarrier since our parents all work for S.H.I.E.L.D.” He noted all grins.

“Oh man you always were such a doofus!” Humberto chuckled. “How could you forget all the Hell we rose around here? I refuse to believe we’re not the reason Fury is bald!”

“Oh man how could we not be?” Teddy laughed. “Wow dude look at us man! I mean even given what’s going on we made it.” Teddy started though to regret why the two were even there though but glancing over he saw Humberto’s smile. Disheartened for the reason Teddy said, but the hope was still there for him. Especially knowing someone he trusted was there with him.

“Yeah... I guess we did man...” Humberto replied nodding. “I guess we did.”

When the Quinjet arrived Teddy took his time getting everything set before take off. As well as making sure everyone else was buckled in. He had once forgotten to buckle in when a Quinjet was taking off. He learned very quickly why that’s a bad idea. Quietly he slipped into the pilot’s chair and started the last of the checklist before takeoff.

“Teddy, right?” Came a voice from behind the young hero. “Mind if I take a pue?”

Not waiting for an answer, America Chavez nonchalantly slid into the co-pilot’s seat. It was clear from her face that something was bothering her, yet she stayed silent, only finally glancing up from her thoughts once the quinjet had begun to lift off of the ground. Yet it was only once the ship had left the Triskelion’s hangar and was taking to the skies above that she even uttered a word.

“So chico, they tell you anything else about Stegron that could come in handy?”

“By all means…” Although she was already in the co-pilot chair. Teddy still gestured to it. She clearly looked worried, confused, something was eating at her. He had a feeling he knew what it was too. The look on her face when he even just connected her with the term ‘leader’ came off as fear and confusion. It made Teddy realize that she was probably not made aware at all of the situation. Which surprised him, S.H.I.E.L.D. was usually on top of being upfront about such plans. At least that’s how it felt to him, he did just find out he was going to be a major team with these people less than an hour ago….

Pausing to think back to the debriefing he had moments ago. Teddy could only give a faint shaking of his head. “I think I only know as much as you do about this situation. Humberto more than likely can clue us in on any key points about the guy.”. Teddy noted glancing back at the young man in question.

“Eh, wouldn’t really surprise me if they knew more than they were saying. S.H.I.E.L.D. has never really been forthtelling with its information. Pretty sure that’s one of the constants across the multiverse…” Her voice trailed off, temporarily taking America back into her silence.

Turning in her chair, she glanced back at the other two members of the group behind them. Kate was sat towards the back, bobbing her head slightly to music she was listening to through her headphones. It was somewhat clear as to what she was doing; pumping herself up for the mission. A pristine looking gym bag sat open at her feet, filled to the brim with all sorts of weaponry, mostly notably being her trusty bow and arrow, as well as a few billy clubs, and battle staves.

Humberto was following suit in regards to the music. He sat in silence, his head leaning against the glass of the window, his eyes staring outwards. His left hand however was on his chest, gently touching the red glowing gem that was the source of the teen’s powers. It was obvious to anyone that he was hurting. Yet no amount of encouragement or comfort could help him right now.

“Am I really meant to lead these people?” America asked, turning her head back towards Teddy.

Teddy paused thinking about what the documents had said about America Chavez. She was a dimensional hopper eh? Teddy had to admit he was dying to know what he was like in other dimensions. Doctor Altman, Teddy Altman star quarterback for the New York Jets, Prince Teddy Altman… HE-MAN. He had to also wonder if she even knew him in other dimensions. Or if she would even want to know him in other dimensions.

Still he watched on as America glanced back at Kate and Humberto getting ready for action. Her wondering aloud did make Teddy pause for thought as he looked over at him. “Hey I know we’ve only met and all. But from my experience, if S.H.I.E.L.D. is willing to give someone this kind of status. That means they really see something important in that person. Besides, push comes to shove we can handle this like a head coach and assistant coach. If you want me to lead things until you feel comfortable, I’m alright with that.”

“I appreciate that Teddy, I really do.” She said, managing a smile. “I’ve just had some dodgy experiences with teams like this in the past. The Avengers are fine, it’s just that when you put a bunch of super powered teenagers in a room together, things always get overly dramatic. It’s loco.”

She fell silent after that once again for a few seconds, obviously reflecting on something private. Then at once that changed, with America darting her eyes back towards Hulkling once more.

“How are you so sure about S.H.I.E.L.D. though?” She asked, inquisitively. “From where I’m from they’re far from the perfect peacekeeping organization you make them out to be.”

Teddy had to let out a chuckle though it clearly a bit awkward given that yes, the idea of teens with superpowers being around each other sounded like an MTV reality show in the making. Only without the really fake melodramatic parts. Still Teddy had to reflect on the fact he would totally watch such a show. If that said anything good about him personally was debatable.

Still it was the other question that clearly got Teddy’s attention. Was he sure about S.H.I.E.L.D? It was a thought he hadn’t even phantomed before. Still he glanced over and although he didn’t want to express it outright. He was clearly a bit personally hurt and almost insulted by it.

“Am I sure about them? America all I’ve ever really known was S.H.I.E.L.D. My mom gave birth to me on that helicarrier. I grew up on it, I know Nick Fury and the other higher ups on a first name basis. Of course I’m sure about them. I wouldn’t have devoted all that time to training if I wasn’t. I mean I don’t know what life is like where… ever exactly that is.” Teddy awkwardly scratched the side of his head realizing he didn’t have a clue where exactly she was from being a reality hopper and all. “But here S.H.I.E.L.D. does what it has too. I mean they’re not perfect but what could be?” Letting his answer linger for a bit Teddy immediately felt the wave of awkwardness in the pilot’s bay of the quinjet. Especially knowing that he had just met this girl who he was already giving sass too. He couldn’t do that, needed to tone the sass way down.

Teddy coughed for a moment, controlling the ship’s path along before glancing back over. “So…” He started, tapping the control panel with an index finger. “Reality hopping huh? Must be crazy. You ever met like me on any of those realities? Teddy Altman? Couldn’t imagine what I’m like in some other life. Be like a… straight minister or something silly like that.” Teddy couldn’t help but giggle at such an idea. Though he quickly stopped himself not sure how it was going over with America. “I mean not that there’s anything wrong with being gay I mean I love it personally and…” Teddy quickly bit his lip again. Seriously why did he always sound like the dumbest of idiots when he got nervous like this? “You know just… maybe should just stop there…”

America couldn’t help but feel bad about her choice of words towards her new teammate, who seemed visibly hurt as a result of what she had said. She couldn’t blame him for being offended. She was in the wrong here after all. What did she expect for insulting everything the guy knew in life? How would she have liked it if he had started insulting her mothers? Of course, she had no idea at the time, but that was no excuse. Still, his response did give some clarity to S.H.I.E.L.D.’s true nature, which did ease her nerves somewhat. They couldn’t be all bad if they raise a kid like the one sitting in front of her. It would seem that he wasn't completely ignorant either of their actions. He knew they weren’t perfect, yet still he had trust in them.

She had to hope the look on her face was enough of an apology, as before she could say anything the green skinned teenager began rambling on; discussing his alternative lives throughout the multiverse. The thought of this bubbly teen as a strict christian minister amused her, with America letting out a laugh for probably the first time since she had been in that training room. His further ramblings about his thoughts on homosexuality merely increased the laughter.

“Chico, it’s completely fine!” She let out, her laughter dying down. “[color-aquamarine]If you must know, I’m actually a..[/color]”

THUD.

The sound of something landing on the roof caused the entirety of the four teenagers to stop in their tracks, their eyes all darting up towards the ceiling for a few seconds, for lingering nervously at each other.

“I’m sure… that’s normal…” Teddy muttered nervously. Glancing up and around at the ceiling of the jet.

As if on cue, a faint animalistic screech echoed throughout the quinjet.

Kate instantly reached for her weapon, notching an arrow into his bow, while both Humberto and America unbuckled themselves and rose to their feet, preparing for the worst. The consoles around them began beeping loudly, with an amber light overhead flashing ominously, signalling the danger. To make matters worse, the screeching had drastically increased in volume, indicating that whatever was out there wasn’t alone. By now though they were starting to recognise the sound. It was similar to the one’s Humberto often made during his training.

All the while Teddy began to frantically key in video feed to the outside of the jet. Trying to find the source before a shot to the above of the quinjet revealed all. Teddy’s eyes widened in surprised before he started to unbuckle himself from the pilot seat. Glancing back at the others.

“Guys! We’re at the Savage Lands… and I think the Savage Lands just sent out its welcoming committee.”

Available, and quite willing

Species:

Mutant

History:

Bao Lu parents were born in the heart of China, where they struggled to be able to make ends meat in rough times. When Bao was born his parents decided they needed to take control of things and hid in a ship that took them to America with nothing on them but a few Renminbis and whatever clothes they could bring with them. After a couple hard years of finding odd jobs the couple were able to make enough good money, especially with help from Bao's grandma who was living in New York City with her successful business. Letting them buy a nice house in a small town in Nebraska.

However when Bao's parents moved there, around the time Bao himself was around 6. The Chinese family wasn't taken well by the locals who didn't take very well to immigrants. The hassled the family, calling them every slur in the book. Eventually a chapter of the KKK came into town at some of the locals suggestion. While they had only wanted to put a flaming cross on the family's front yard. The fire from it spread uncontrollably and eventually set the house on fire. Bao was saved by local firefighters but his parents were killed in the flames. Those who had put the flaming cross out were charged, and Bao was forced to move to New York City where his grandma lived.

While the transition from the country to a city like NYC was jarring at first Bao eventually grew to love the city life more. Though his heart still ached for his parents he wanted to keep going stronger and better than ever for them. It showed in his athletic endeavors. At first Bao picked up aggressive in-line skating from other kids in his school. Often heading out at night and filming their riding sessions more for fun than anything else. His grandma, worried Bao might grow up to be a punk if he just had that as his hobby. Had Bao learn martial arts through friends of her’s. Although Bao wasn’t a fan of their teaching methods at first. He quickly learned to accept it and started showing exceptional skill and ability. Even winning a few martial arts exhibition contests. Eventually though Bao met a transferred student from France who taught him freerunning. Which quickly became Bao's other major passion. Both lended themselves to when Bao worked for his grandma's Chinese Restaurant. As he would usually be tasked with delivery which he accomplished in record times with his aggressive in-lining or freerunning.

As the mutant scares escalated Bao suddenly felt wind around him get strangely more powerful and less powerful almost at random. One night he casually brought it up with his grandma at dinner. Following the news, and seeing parallels between the mutant epidemic and the same kind of unknowing fear that created the racism that killed Bao's parents. She quickly that next day arranged for Bao to be transferred to the academy under Mr. Latour. Bao was shocked at first, but now he's more than ready. People like the Equalists killed his parents, and he still has plenty of aggression to take out on someone because of that.

Appearance:

Stands at around 5‘7 and with a very lean athletic frame. Bao's wardrobe consist of pretty loose but still fitting clothes, inline shirts, fitness clothes, a few jeans, but more cargo shorts which he likes to wear, even in cold weather.

Powers:

Bao's powers is being able to control the wind through a kind of mental telepathy. Eventually with training Bao can use wind to essentially glide through the air and knock people around and out without using direct physical force.

Personality:
Bao can be seen as a bit two faced when it comes to things outside of the X-Men and things away from that. Outside of being an X-Men Bao is a pretty cool dude to be around. Admittedly lazy in some ways, and a bit of a smart ass. He does work hard to be a good guy to be around and help out however he cans.

However his background and history have led him to becoming one of the X-Men’s most formable fighters even without a strong handling of his powers. That coupled with a burning hatred for the kind of hate the equalists exhibit makes Bao a firecraker when its time for combat.

Likes:

Grandma's traditional Chinese cooking
Aggressive inline skating
Football (The non team-egg ball kind)
Hip hop
Freerunning

Dislikes:

Grandma's yelling
Equalists
Avatar: The Last Airbender (He used to really like the show... then he got the powers... and the jokes just came a-rollin' in!)
People who insist on football being called soccer
Spilling hot chinese food on himself (Seriously that shit hurts!)

Bring Me The Horizon - Throne
<sub>The sticks and the stones that
You used to throw have
Built me an empire
So don't even try
To cry me a river
'Cause I forgive you
You are the reason I still fight

So you can throw me to the wolves
Tomorrow I will come back
Leader of the whole pack
Beat me black and blue
Every wound will shape me
Every scar will build my throne</sub>

All-Star Marvel: Audax Mundus Novus - Season 2

Man Chao and I have talked about it already but I'm still bummed losing Reed Richards. Especially considering part of the reason being I had no feel for writing Susan.

This has nothing to do with anything talked about on the OOC. Just me needing to say that.

All-Star Marvel: Audax Mundus Novus - Season 2

Involves previous spoiler

He was in Runaways, made by Ultron as a sleeper agent who's suppose to be a superhero fanatic who joins the Avengers and then kills them from inside. Really fun character.

Also fun fact, he was on my short list of characters to replace Mr. Fantastic with. Hulkling though it was a case of seeing the Hulkling SHIELD picture on DA and getting too inspired.

All-Star Marvel: Audax Mundus Novus - Season 2

Also I just heard another thing that just ruined my day a fair bit. @The Kid Lantern here's another character you might want to think about because I adore him.

SPOILERS

In the recent Vision comic Dr. Doom kills Victor Mancha... because fuck interesting characters right? Also that's now three Marvel deaths in the last month, four if She Hulk's dead. Seriously Marvel has officially ran out of ideas.

All-Star Marvel: Audax Mundus Novus - Season 2

<Snipped quote by DrewVonAwesome>

Because instead of Young Avengers or New Warriors... the Champions are the new teen superteam in the Marvel U.? You could potentially have a home for Hulkling. Now that I thought about it though I suppose Tony could be a part of the team as well.

<Snipped quote by Dedonus>

I was just thinking any random team full of teen superheroes in the Marvel U. has the potential to be interesting with the right set up. This new take on the Champions reminds me of the New Warriors in the Ultimate Spiderman cartoon. The only New Warrior that was shown in that series was a pic of Speedball, not even sure he showed up in the series aside from that. The team had the likes of Squirrel Girl, Triton [from the Inhumans], Cloak & Dagger, Ka-Zar, etc. In the Champions the only characters that have any connection are Miles/Spidey, Kamala/Ms. Marvel, and Sam/Nova because of their brief time as All New All Different Avengers. Cyclops' involvement came outta left field, as did Amadeus/Hulk, and the inclusion of Vision's daughter Viv was brilliant.

My biggest problem right now is I have no idea which teen hero I'd wanna reimagine for this, or what cannon character I could recreate as a teen. Sleepwalker came to mind, Ricochet and Prodigy [from the Slingers/Spiderman] were both favorites, Cannonball, Nova, still tossing ideas around...

~KL~

@The Kid Lantern

Well Hulkling has a home with Ms America's Young Avengers squad. Which Wiccan and Speed will later join most likely as NPCs at this point. So Champions aren't really a thing.

If I had to say one I think you'd be good with, Sam Alexander Nova and Cannonball are two I like personally. Course I do genuinely think Speedball could be interesting for you because I've never seen you really make a comic relief character before.

As for Iron Man, we'll see with Avengers since that's still going on (RIGHT @Sep?!)...

Also I make this AMAZING zinger...

I mean... without giving too much away, Hawkeye DID give him plenty to think about.

@DrewVonAwesome

and no one says anything?! Screw all y'all! You don't get to enjoy my brilliance anymore!
