The Raft, Highest Security Block...
"You still haven't answered my question Thrasher." Tony Stark said as he watched Dwayne walking down the hallway.
"Shut up. Is this the place?" Night Thrasher asked as he stopped outside a large metal door.
"Yes. However... I have to ask... what are you going to do in there?"
"I... am going to get some payback."
"Right.... this is Stark." Tony said into his headset. "Open Cell Door 571. Keep the prisoner's collar activated."
About 10 seconds later the door started to whir open. The sound of a dozen different locks turning could be heard through out the hall.
"You sure about this?" Tony asked.
"More then anything."
"Well... good luck." Tony said as Night Thrasher shoved his way into the door.
"Hello there." Nitro said as Night Thrasher closed the door behind him.
"What exactly are you doing here?" He asked as Night Thrasher stood there silently.
"Who gave you so much power?" Night Thrasher asked.
"Ah! I know you! You're one of those... Warrior guys."
"That's NEW WARRIORS you filthy piece of trash."
"Oh. You're here to kill me aren't you?"
"Depends."
"Y'know my life's pretty much ruined anyway, Because of you guys. Sometimes the guards come in here to beat me. The rest of the villains hate me cause of Stamford... it's all your fault."
"You really think I came here to listen to your sob story? You MURDERED over 600 people! I'm not interested in your feelings on the matter! Now tell me... WHO INCREASED YOUR POWERS?!"
"My friend... you're never going to find that out..."
"We'll see..." Night Thrasher muttered as he cracked his knuckles. "We'll see..."

2 Minutes Later...
"Stark I want the location of The Hood." Night Thrasher said as he wiped Nitro's blood from his knuckles.
"Parker Robbins? HE'S THE ONE WHO CAUSED STAMFORD?!"
"No idea. I'll find out once I've broken his body a few times..." Night Thrasher said as he shoved past.
"Hang on! You do know who the Hood is right?"
"Don't know. Don't care."
"He's the new Kingpin of crime. Without the style that is. He has complete command of an army of super villains."
"So? Call the Avengers."
"We're busy... and you can't handle this guy on your own. Which brings me to that offer I came to ask you about..."
"You want me to form a team?"
"Wrong actually. I'M forming the team! You're just a part of it."
"Why?"
Tony smiled as he put his hand on Dwayne's shoulder.
"I know you're a good man Dwayne. You have a lot of potential to do the right thing... which is why you're on parole."
"Well... who's my parole officer?"
"Dwayne!" A girly voice yelled from down the hallway.
"Justice?! Firestar?!" Dwayne said as he stared at the two costumed heroes walking towards him. "THIS is who you pick?!" He asked angrily towards Tony.
"I thought you'd react well to working with your ex teammates!" Tony said in surprise.
"You thought wrong!"
Justice and Firestar both stopped directly in front of Dwayne. An awkward silence followed.
"Vance." Night Thrasher said as he pulled his mask off.
"Dwayne. It's been awhile."
"Could've been longer."
"Uh. I hate to interrupt but... where's..." Firestar started to ask.
"He should be here any minute." Tony muttered as he glanced at his watch.
"Who should be here any minute?"
"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late!" A voice said.
"Sorry Mister Stark..." Prodigy said as he walked in.
"It's fine Rich. Meet your new teammates."
"Teammates?!" Night Thrasher yelled. "What the... why do I have to lead these guys?!"
"Lead?" Tony said with a chuckle. "I never said you were going to lead!"
"Well... who is?"
"I am."
Tom Foster walked into the small group of heroes as they all looked surprised.
"Well? What are you guys waiting for?" Tom asked. "We've got a terrorist to stop."
