The Story So Far...
There was once a time when all the comic book universes existed separately from one another with no idea of any others existence. They all existed on their own version of the planet Earth and went about their lives as they always had. That is to say until the day came that the catastrophic dimensional tear ripped across all the universes and literally shattered the planets, killings millions in the process and reducing once magnificent cities to crumbling, unstable shadows of their former selves. Before the heroes and villains of each world could even truly comprehend what was going on, there was a great light that blinded them like when an atomic bomb goes off and then there was nothing.
There is no telling how it all came to be or how long it took but when they awoke, they found themselves on what could best be described as a a near barren wasteland of a planet that resembled the Earth they left but it was broken, shattered and mixed up. There were remnants of cities and landmarks they once knew but some looked as though Picasso had created them while others were just like a Lego kids creation, mashing this and that together to form what might be considered some kind of structure.
There were damaged highways every where with chunks of automobiles and corpses every where. If you were very lucky you found a motorcycle or maybe an '84 Honda that with a little re-wiring could potentially have enough gas left to get you to the closest city. There were however raiders every where and if you weren't careful or prepared to deal with them, they'd capture you and do all manner of unpleasantries to you and that if that wasn't bad enough, among their number were mutants, techno-zombies and the like that could do far worse to you.
The cities themselves were not much better off, some had been reduced to such a terrible state that they had enough buildings left to maybe be considered a town and repairs were done by the locals but necessity and ability to find materials to make said repairs. So a lot of things were make-shift and not pretty because as time went on, people cared less about aesthetics and more about survival. Sure there are those who possess extraordinary abilities and powers which made their lives easier but soon they found themselves being asked by others less fortunate than them to help and soon enough they were making business deals to keep food and clothes in their homes while their past lives as heroes and villains seemed to lose focus and even fade away in some cases.
With all of this having happened and reshaped life as the survivors know it, there are still a few who have brief memories of what their life was before all this and wonder where it all went or if it were just a dream. Perhaps there are even some who will step up and seek out the answers to such questions and find out if there is a way to return their lives to how they were...

Known cities and there leaders.
A note about the where abouts of the cities: While these cities are clearly taken from entirely different countries, they are now all that remains and for unknown reasons are all within distance of each other as major cities in an American state. Old high way systems still connect them roughly but are fairly treacherous to try and navigate by vehicles unless you're on an agile bike or a well shock absorbed car or... you just don't care for a bumpy ride!
The Techno Dome: Ruled by Oroko Saki "The Shredder"
This was once known as Toronto but after the devastation, the Shredder's powerful TechnoDrome war machine was found in the center of the city, it's massive eye monitoring all activities while scores of upgraded Foot Ninja and Rock Soldiers took over the city and became the new police force as the Shredder's general's included Rocksteady, Bebop, Baxter Stockman, Hun, and of course his advisor Krang ensured that all inhabitants of his newly named city 'The TechnoDome' would swear loyalty to him or be sent to the mines to spend the rest of their years salvaging resources for the city and leader they betrayed. There is no mistake, the Shredder's hold of this city is absolute and he runs it in dictatorship style only. That being said, this is probably the best off city because the Shredder's access to Dimension X technology has vastly rebuilt and improved the city to make if far more livable... if you can submit to his rule and live within the massive, guarded walls that surround the city! Any one can really live here but you have to be careful what you say and never speak the word "Turtle" or you will find yourself in a world of trouble!
Arkham City: Ruled by The Joker and the Arkham Crew
Once known as Gotham City, after the great disaster there was no sight of Batman or any of his family in fact. As to whether they are dead or just missing is completely unknown but some how the Joker managed (once again) to convince his Arkham Inmate pals to unite and take over the city once and for all. Hundreds of Black Gate Goons are now the law enforcement faction, having taken over the GPD with none other than the genius Riddler playing the role of Police Commissioner while Harvey Two-Face has resumed his previous role as Attorney which means the difference of guilty and innocent is just the flip of a coin. The Penguin and Black Hand have taken to the business of acquiring the cities goods while Killer Croc has set up Bounty Hunter trade where victims are captured alive or dead and saved for lunch! As for the Botanical terror Poison Ivy, she mostly sticks to herself as usual but is also the cities eyes and ears as her telepathic communication with plants allows her to know everything going on and monitor who comes and goes from the city and of course her ability to grow plants even after the great disaster has made her invaluable in keeping the city fed which means her and the Joker have actually put a side their differences (for now!) As for Harley Quinn (Mayor Joker's wife) she runs the cities Strip Clubs and god help anyone who gets drunk enough to demand anything of her because if she doesn't shoot you for hitting on the mayors wife, her body guard Firefly will roast you alive! Now while the city itself may look like an over grown hell hole for the most part, the genius of Mr Freeze below the city has been placed in charge of restoring power to the city and taking care of the science side of things will help from Scarecrow and Manbat who as a trio of scientific minds are supplied with the essentials of their own living desires in exchange for their own services. To live here is to be of scum and villainy or flat out desperate for work because a good heart will get you killed or worse in no time!
Haven: Lead by Nick Fury
Formally known as Chicago, this place is now a shadow of it's former self with crumbling skyscrapers every where and collapsed buildings all over the city streets. Still there is enough stocked grocery stores and restaurants that with the proper guidance of Nick Fury and his SHIELD agents, they've managed to ensure that it can last long enough that the city's inhabitants can be fed well enough without splurging while the quest to find more food and build green house style farms to grow fresh fruits and vegetables continues. This is the city for those with a genuinely good heart or that want to start over and make good on past sins. Tony Stark, formally known as Iron-man (who had to give it up due to very few core reactors left that keep him alive) has been doing his best to repair his father's Arc Reactor with other genius types like Reed Richards, Lucius Fox, Professor Honeycutt and Egon Spengler to provide power to the city once more and in time, hopefully make the city a better place to live than what it currently is. Those are not he only names in the city trying to make a difference though, you can find all kinds of 'hero' characters living her, trying to get by with what they have and help one another to make it through each day which is precisely why the city became known as Haven.
Racoon City: Ruled by the Umbrella Corporation.
Located in the very far south of known land, surrounded by 50 foot reinforced walls with automatic sentry turrets, armed guards and more land minds surrounding it than you will ever know about, this is not a place to visit for any reason. The only reason it's existence is even known about is because of rumours from lone survivors of travellers that witnessed their caravan get obliterated by the mines just after taking notice of the walls with that ominous red and white symbol painted across it. No one knows what goes on inside but from the sounds of things, it's high military and they want to keep to themselves... best to leave it that way.
Other Locations: Rules/Leaders unknown at this time.
There are other smaller cities and towns that will be described later but many of them are in terrible condition, lacing resources and other than a small sheriff system, have no real protection from raiders and marauders. Persephone and Mos Eisley are among those while the shattered remains of others like Steel Harbour and Tokyo are on the outskirts of charted territory and are notorious for being infested with the most violent of scum, mutations, cyborgs and other vile creatures. They are not contained there though, many sub-groups splinter off and become roaming gangs that travel via motorcycles, modified trucks or even on foot and their campsites are relocating all the time which makes it hard to know where is safe to travel and where isn't!

Pepper Potts
Location: Toronto - The Techno Dome
Of all the places in the world to wake up in she was here. It was supposed to be some kind of conference to market the new green energy converters to the Canadians. It was a simply done deal or it was supposed to be before all hell broke loose and everything she knew at the moment was turned to crap and she could remember things were different. The city had been a beautiful sight to see upon her initial arrival two weeks ago. She remembered taunting Tony over the lame vacation he was supposedly sending her on. Now she would give anything to be back at Stark Tower as long as it was with him. She had lucked out by remaining locked away in the hotel room. Not exiting and surviving solely on the items in the mini fridge and whatever she had brought along with her. Rhodey always did send her a survival bag of sorts not wanting to let another person down since the Tony Stark abduction fiasco. So far she remained undetected. Silently praying her luck would continue to keep up as she stuffed the last few food products into her bag. The Shredder had supposedly been a courteous ruler. The dome that surrounded the city only managed to cause it to feel so much more oppressive. “At least I didn’t listen to Tony about what to pack..” She whispered to herself still heartbroken that communications were down. If she could see he was okay.. She’d be fine. Hell, she’d be happy.
This was it. She pulled the backpack on as she sighed giving the room a quick glance over as she made sure everything was secure. She opened the door slipping from the room as stealthily as possible always managing to stay out of sight at least until she hit the now crowded streets of the city. It didn’t look all that appealing now. She ducked into the alley as she notice a patrol rounding the corner. Hell it wasn’t like she wasn’t known. Always with Tony Stark or Ironman and dammit of she was going to be brought in and questioned about technology that could be used. Her eyes nearly lit up as she spotted the first manhole cover that wasn’t welded shut. Pepper rushed to pick up a wooden stick that laid in the distance using it to pop the cover open just enough for herself to slip in and drag it shut. All would have been fine and dandy had she not pulled the cover quickly where she lost balance and fell the rest of the way into the sewer landing in the water with a loud splash cursing every foul word she knew.

Natasha Romanoff - The Black Widow
Location: Racoon City
Istanbul had been a cake walk. Budapest nothing more than a little excursion. Hell, the battle against Loki was just a typical Saturday for her. That bomb had thrown her for a loop and not just any simple loop either as she came too in a building when she knew damn well for a fact and a half she was in the New Mexico dessert bullshitting with Barton about arrows still sucking against a gun in battle. She was going to be proud of the fact she leaned in close her eyes filled with a mischievous glint before the loud sound and the blast hit her causing her to fly back shielding her face from the mass storm of dirt.
After doing a physical assessment of her body condition she noticed that the building she was in was coated in plastic. Almost as if someone had been renovating the home. Closing her eyes again she thought about what she might have seen prior to becoming fully conscious. A sign they must have passed before she completely blanked out. ‘Welcome to Raccoon City..’ Her first idea was that Barton had woken before her and carried her into the building while he went out to scout out the perimeter. It was too large a building to truly be abandoned as she forced her eyes open pulling herself to her feet. Grave annoyance evident on her face as she walked around the room. “Hawkeye! Clint! Where the hell are you?” She hissed out as she roamed the building. The sound of shuffled movement rounding the corner causing her to reflectively reach for her side arm holding it up in front of her. Her finger on the trigger.

Lois Lane
Location: Gotham City – Arkham City
It was supposed to be a routine assignment. Got to Gotham, Interview billionaire playboy, bullshit with some cute guy at the bar to score a few free drinks, and then take the next flight home to watch movies with Smallville. It would have gone as planned but no, the fates opted to ruin her life any way they could. She had taken refuge in the skyscraper building that was once the fabulous Wayne Tower. It seemed the villains were throwing anyone and everyone into the buildings so they could loot, pillage and possibly even some darker things with people to choose from. What a way to go.
She was upset that no sign of any Batfamily member had been seen. Even her favorite boy scout was MIA. Dammit to hell if she was going to let it all end here. She had managed to slip out and although the streets were deathly empty she couldn’t help but be fearful. Something about all this didn’t feel right. Not right at all. The City once had hope to recover but now with it’s heroes nothing more than a faded memory she had to get the hell out of there.

In a run down apartment building deep within Arkham City that looked as though it had been target practice to someone with a minigun with how damaged the walls looked with empty shell casings every where, smashed beer bottles and debris every where, what looked like a pile of old laundry slumped over at Kidpool took a big yawn and stretch. Scratching the back of his head and his chest chest a moment, he glanced around through his mask and thought to himself Man... I'm hungry. With that in mind he got up and walked around the apartment in his sock covered feet towards the fridge which had a knife in it, several bullet holes and upon opening it... was not only not working any more (big surprise) but also had no food in it. Masked eyes opened wide as he threw his hands to the air and cried "NOOOOOO!!!!!"

Lady Deadpool neutral Wanda Wilson|: Merc with a Mouth
:Arkham City:
{What the hell is that damn sound?!} {{Wake up and yo’ll find out..}} ‘But I don’t want to.. I was sooooo close to that sexy guy.. Jensen Ackles.. Some to me Supernatural hottie!!’ Her mind warred with itself till the sound became unbareable. She had just managed to catch the object of her affection and sling him over her shoulder before her dream world began to evaporate. ‘You have got to be kidding me!!’ She thought annoyed. {Breath already!!} {{MUTE BUTTON!}} Slowly she cracked open a brilliantly bright blue eye as she rolled falling off the remaining bits of the couch as she glared daggers at the sound covering her ears. “Dammit Tito!!!” She snapped getting up and realizing she must have only woken up in a nightmare. “NOOOOOOOO!!!” She shrieked beside him as she was hit with the same fearsome fact that the fridge was empty even the baking soda box held nothing.

--||Doctor Jane Foster||--
She was known for her particle research. She was known for working in the Astrophysics with a small group of people before her entire world changed. It was about a year and a half ago when she got the grant for her study of Anomalous Particle Phenomena. She had been out chasing what seemed to be a bizarre thunder storm Dr. Erik Selvig was at the wheel as Darcy Lewis made sure she didn’t fly out of the open sky light as she took readings. Then the lightning struck and Erik pulled off to the side trying to convince her to go home. After ranting at them all day saying find something or go home and bust she offered to take over the driving before speeding off towards the lightning. That’s when they met her vehicle colliding with him. Throwing the break on and nearly jumping out the vehicle as it screeched to a halt. “Please don’t be dead.. Please don’t be dead..” She whispered to herself as Darcy called after her to get back in the car. He was magnificent. Standing in front of her rubbing his head as he walked towards her. “Stop right there.” She hissed out in warning before tazing the man she just hit.
Jane shook her head gently at the memory. That’s all it was now wasn’t it.. Just bits and pieces of what she missed the most. Dr. Selvig had died several weeks ago and she had no idea where Darcy was now. All she knew was she had been recruited. Recruited by SHIELD the agency that once took all her research away in hopes of restoring the city. Her arms crossed in front of her body as she looked out the window. Haven was thriving. It was still surviving and yet in the moment all she wanted was him. Thor, God of Thunder. “Dr. Foster.. Dr. Richards is requesting your input in regards to the portal generator.” Offered the robotic voice as she frowned. “I’ll be there shortly Jarvis..”

Racoon City:
A loud scream echoed through the nearly deserted halls.
Inside Clint had been strapped to a table where they were pokeing a proding at him. He woke up almost an hour ago and they hadn't stopped or opffered anything to dull the pain.
They were stitching up his chest again and collecting more tissue samples. One of the masked doctors injected him with somthing and he screamed out again. Normally he could distance himself from the pain, and focus on anything else to not feel it, but he was in extream pain.
Clint tried to do a mental count of everything he had. He came up 2 fingers short on his right hand. Not good. The ring and pinky finger were missing. But how?
New York:
He made his way through the crowds at the party. He did enjoy the spoils of his hard work and being rich. Although this form was not as attractive as his normal form, the old man had woman thrown at him none the less.
Making his way back to his room he was tired from useing his magic for so long.
Once in his room he let the glamor of the old fat millionheir drop and Loki stood in the mirror instead. In the bathtub beside him the real rich fat man lay dead in a pool of blood.

Natasha Romanoff - The Black Widow
Location: Racoon City
The scream was enough to distract her as she froze. She recognized the scream. “Dammit Barton..” She hissed as she held the gun out in front of her as she turned running towards the scream. “I’m on my way!” She shouted as she sprinted through the halls. “Barton! You in there?!” She barked from behind the door where she assumed he might have been locked behind. “Barton!” She shouted again not even bothering to wait for a response. The Widow was on the hunt for her partner and everything be dammed that get in her way. She swung a kick at the door the wicked crack of the wooden door showing its weakness as she holstered her gun before slamming her left shoulder into it causing it to burst open.

The doctors jumped as the door was kicked in. It was enough of a distraction for Clint to grab a scalple from one of the doctors.
Two charged at the intrudor with bladed weapons ready to strike at her.
Clint began to work at the binds on his wrist.
After a few moments he was free and stabbed the scalple into the neck of the nearest doctor.
"In here Nat." He tried to scream, but it was shallow and hoarse. His throat hurt so bad. He didn't even know what they did to him.

--||Doctor Jane Foster||--
The rest of her day had been uneventful as she tossed out variables to Dr. Richards’s equation that might have been able to stabilize the portal long enough to ask Asgard for help. She didn’t even get the chance to see him when he fought in New York. Her dark brown eyes glared intently at the board as she propped her head up with her hand as she blew a strand of her hair from her face. “You cannot utilize that type of polymer in the machine it will decompose at an extraordinary rate on the molecular level. It would result in dire consequences..” She snapped out lashing out at the only person she had in the moment. “We need something like the Tesseract. Possibly a weapon generated by it to work on trying to reconstruct its power signature then we might have a possibility finding out if Odin or Thor have anything in their magical archives to assist us.”
She rose to her feet quickly as the other Doctor gawked at her. "I'm going to clear my head.. Maybe I can think of another stimulation that might help us sustain the Arch reactor."

Natasha Romanoff - The Black Widow
Location: Racoon City
Natasha would have laughed in their faces had she not been too over whelmed with concern over her partner’s well-being. The crimson haired assassin charged at the doctors really who the hell takes knives to a Widow fight? She jumped her legs gripping one of the doctor’s heads as her body twisted rapidly through the air the sickening snap of the neck filled the air in time with the blast of the gun. It was a clear head shot as she fell with the now dead doctor’s body to the ground rolling away as she jumped back to her feet. “What in the hell have they done to you?” She hissed as she walked towards him. Her hand still holding the gun in her hand before she remembered where it was slipping it back into her holster. “Barton.. You look like s**t..”
