Tony hummed peacefully to himself as he tidied up his workbench, trying to unwind and take his mind off of the large battle he'd just come back from. "After Ultron, I think I'm ready to just take a nice long nap." Tony grumbled to himself. "Unfortunately, Mr. Stark, that's nit gonna happen. There's a bigger threat that the Avengers need to deal with." Doctor Strange said as he appeared out of a portal. Tony starred blankly at the sudden wizard before snarking. "First, who are you? Second, why are you here? And third, is this going to cut into my hot tub time?"
"Doctor Strange, our universe is in danger, and yes." Tony sighed again. "I'll call everyone in."

"So, we're being invaded from another universe by a guy calling himself The Beast?" Tony asked. "His real name is Cole MacGrath. His enforcer, Delsin Rowe, tried to assassinate me. I interrogated him about who he was working for."
"Cole MacGrath. I've heard that name before." Captain America chimed in. "I saw it in the news. Supposedly, he's the guy responsible for the bombing in Empire City." Tony furrowed his brow. "So he's already invading?"
"Not quite. My attacker claims that he's from a parallel universe that Cole already conquered. Likely, it's just that our universes Cole has just begun his rise to power." Strange added. "Then we have no time to prepare against two people who have already proven themselves caoable of killing the Avengers." Tony summed up. "How do we know that Cole's that strong already? If the Cole from our world just got started then he might not be strong enough to fight us yet." Said Black Widow. "I'll go." Scarlet Witch volunteered. "I'm currently one of the strongest Avengers we have. I can go defeat our world's Cole while you prepare to fight their world's Cole."
"It's wisest to strike down the Beast of our workd before dealing with the Beast of another. I'm in." Strange seconded. All heads around the table nodded in agreement.

Cole looked over the city he now protected, the weight of nigh endless responsibility weighing on his shoulders. This gift was a burden, a cross he must bear. He knew now that he must use his power in service to others, to protect the innocent. He only hoped he was ready.
Suddenly, a car surrounded by red energy was flung towards him. Cole jumped off the roof and landed on the street turning to face his opponent. "Cole MacGrath, you are under arrest for terrorism and murder." The new Avenger declared. "Listen, lady, that wasn't m-" Cole was cut off by another car flying towards him, which he deflected. Cole sighed. "Alright, guess we're doing this then."

Both at High 7-A.
They start one kilometer apart.

Good Karma Cole.
Takes place in Empire City.

I thought this would be the end, that once Kessler and the Ray Sphere were gone, my life would go back to normal. But now I understand that this is my life. There's no going back. The gift of the powers will be my burden until the day I die.
