"Don't worry Ma'am! You're safe now!"
The man in the armored suit hovering over several unconscious muggers. They'd tried to attack and possibly rape a woman.
It hadn't worked out.
"Who... who are you?" The woman asked as she took the man's hand.
"I am. The Hornet!"
"Hornet huh? Last time I heard of you was when Spider-Man was wearing your costume."
The Hornet turned in surprise as Iron Man walked down the alleyway.
"Tony Stark?" Hornet said. "What are you doing here?"
"We need to talk."

"How did you know where we lived?" Goliath asked.
"Please. You think I would lead this team without learning every single thing about every one of you?"
"...Carry on..."

"Do you... DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE?!" Nova yelled as he looked in stunned silence.
Night Thrasher looked at his knuckles drenched in blood.
"I... I don't know..."
The murderer's dead corpse lay on the floor at Night Thrasher's feet. His daughter's body lay on the staircase.
"You killed him..."

"We need to talk to you."
"Dusk?"
"I'm sorry Prodigy. Are we boring you?" Miriam asked.
"Uh... no Ms Sharpe. I was just..."
"Okay. Y'know what? I'm just going to pick you up."
"What? Dusk now is really not a good ti-"

"Jonah? What the hell are you two...?"
