MC'S POV
Is really surprising that I am at the center of the cluster fuck at this point in fact I would be surprised if anyone would be surprised at this point. Which is why I wasn't shocked that Mystique and company suddenly came to investigate what the hell is going on now. Currently standing in front of me was a very pissed goddess that was mostly glaring at the watcher who appeared just before I summoned her. Most people can't perceive the watcher with minor exceptions me because of my system I believe. Raven probably because she is more powerful than most ever truly realize and apparently the very angry goddess.
Akonita didn't know who the Watcher was or his purpose if she did she wouldn't have cared either. She was a goddess from a reality where her reality was literally collapsing around her in order to save herself and her people she agreed to the system's terms and conditions or face erasure. So while she was forced to accept me as her master that didn't translate to her allowing someone else to look down on her. I was forced to actively tell her not to attack the watcher or anyone currently residing within my home as Medusa approached clearly with questions about the woman who resembles her name sake more so than she does herself. She was so focused on asking her questions that she didn't realize the dangerous situation that she barely avoided unintentionally due to my intervention.
Medusa: Julian who is she and how did she arrive here? Is she connected to the alien fleet mentioned all over the news?
That last question seemed to wake the rest up as their eyes widened in shock. I didn't even have to ask Cortona as a holographic display appeared in the room showing the news that Medusa mentioned earlier. The channel was of course set to my favorite reporter Vicki Vale as she tried to describe the current situation. While Akonita looked on in disdain at the human woman's inept description.

M'shen POV (undisclosed location)
I didn't take Julian's ability to summon things from other dimensions into consideration when I began mass recruiting women from around the globe. According to what my staff the ships seemed to appear out of nowhere meaning they were either incredibly advanced and decided to a back water world or far more likely Julian summoned them from the void and they were going to be his new army. This meant that I needed to step things up and enter the second phase sooner than later otherwise he might get comfortable with the idea of keeping xenos in the imperium to come. Right now they are new and can be deployed as shock troops wasting their lives for the glory of humanity but I fear that Julian will get comfortable around these scum and make the mistake of seeing them as people instead of a blunt instrument to be used then tossed aside.

Gwen Stacy (Gotham University campus)
I was starting to feel kinda bad for Barbra Gordon she must have studying like crazy and now she is the perpetual second place. I know that I was only taking the class for the internship program as the spider crew agreed that I have the best chance of infiltrating Black tech. Being a pretty and smart girl makes it likely Julian himself might take personal interest regarding internships. It was already a established fact which is why Jessica (Drew) suggested it and Peter agreed. Although Miles (Morales) had reservations he was easily out voted and even if he wasn't I still would have pushed for this.
I easily stomped competition as most of material seemed lacking by comparison to what I already knew. I didn't need to try hard to excell in class and that was probably what was pissing her off more. It definitely didn't help that I was studying dance prior but according to Jessica that actually might work in my favor regarding Julian. I needed to stand out in a unique way and my previous studies accomplished that and even if Julian wasn't involved I would definitely get noticed by one his harem that ran Black Tech.

Amada Waller POV (US government facility)
Sword reached out to me regarding this new potential threat but I apparently wasn't the first choice. Furry was currently unreachable which wasn't good and probably the real reason why I was called. Unlike Sword or Shield my loyalties were well known to be America first and if I was ordered to then I would support whoever else. It's a sentiment that I shared with General Ross. Unlike Ross I don't have any true authority over Shield which meant that they were likely assumed that the leadership might have been compromised.
I sent a suicide squad to the last known location of the helicarrier before we lost connection to investigate and possibly secure it. We can't have Shield's base fall into enemy hands and if they happen to recover some lost files and possible super weapons then they should be secured in a US facility for safety purposes. If not and they somehow all end up dead no one would shed tears for these scum in fact there was already a betting pool on who would die first. Currently a team that was being lead by Rick Flag were gearing up and getting ready to fight and die for this country whether they liked it or not. The team for this mission contains Scorpion, Captain Boomerang, Red Orchid, Joystick, Pyro and Block Buster (Mark Desmond).

Anna Marie POV (Mutant Ghetto NYC)
Kurt has slowly started to recover from shock of finding out that he was Mystique's son and that he wasn't abandoned but apparently got separated. I was dealing with the fact that we were? are? family and now I have a brother. It's been a lot for both of us and although he doesn't say it I think he is worried that our fucked up parents won't want him anymore and leave with me. Rather than let him sit and focus on his dark thoughts I force him to explore the city with me. He even started going out to meet up with a girl that he thinks I don't know about. I'm proud that he isn't only piecing himself together but actually moving forward.
I know that he wants to go meet with Mystique and her wife who haven't even bothered looking for us even though we weren't that far away and given Julian's resources they could have easily figured out where we are I'm just glad that they weren't banging down our door and I wasn't too eager to reconnect unlike Kurt. We'll go to see them when Kurt is ready and not a moment before.
