Storm saw the Beetle within a few minutes of travel. She smiled as she does to catch up to him.

"Decided to try the Academy?" She asked, a bit louder than usual to be heard over the wind.

The Blue Beetle smiled when he saw Storm, happy to see a familiar face. He slowed down so she he didn't fly too fast for her to keep up with.

"Yeah, I did. It's good to see you again."

Anna Marie went to school that day as well... However, once school was over, she decided to try to check out the fliers that she had gotten. Once she got home, she called the academy in an effort to try to set an appointment over the weekend to visit. As she was waiting for someone to pick up, she finally got a chance to look at the business card of that man from before. She wasn't sure who he was because she was more worried about the raccoon on her shoulders at the time. However, the name instantly caught her eye.

Tony Stark... The Tony Stark? Anna Marie thought to herself. Of Stark Industries... That Tony Stark?!

Anna Marie had a completely surprised look on her face. After all, it's not every day she gets the business card of a millionaire. If the news was any indication, he was quite eccentric. Anna Marie remembered his name being plastered all over the news when he became a hostage to terrorists in Afghanistan and also when he shut down his company's weapons division soon after his escape from them and return to the United States.

What was he saying... Anna Marie tried to remember what Tony had said. Oh, he thought the raccoon was an animatronic... Stark is interested in animatronics now?

The face of Ryder's producer did not leave his palm, even as he peeked through his fingers at the photos.

"Jack, jack, jack. Jack. Even if you somehow convince me that you and a friend didn't dress a raccoon up and stick him in front of a movie set, how the hell do you expect the audience to buy it? I'm trying my hardest to convince the execs you ain't losing it, but..."

"Why would I do something that crazy? Anyway he doesn't want us to go public until he's taken care of some business. Hey, that alone should convince you I'm not making this up. After all, if I was wouldn't I want to do the show right away? Besides there are witnesses to the bank robbery he helped foil this morning. Anyway, is it really any crazier than a guy dressed like a spider swinging from the rooftops and fighting crime?" He paused. "Well, maybe a little. But not much. Oh and I also have about an hour of recorded interview. Don't ask me why he has a British accent, I don't know."

Meanwhile, above the streets of New York.

The very same window washer that was rescued by the mysterious Spider-Man sat down on some scaffolding now somewhat closer to the ground, drinking a mug of coffee next to another worker.

"Can't believe that damn mutie kid. I almost die and he tells me to change my damn job. I'm barely making ends meet as it is thanks to those mutant bastards, and he has the gall to tell ME to change what I do. Freakin' unbelievable."

The other worker didn't respond. He was already climbing down the scaffolding as fast as he possibly could. The window washer looked at his coworker suspiciously, then took great big swig of his coffee. It was only after he set down his cup that he realized a tall, furry behemoth stood right next to him.

The window washer was struck with fear when he saw the face of the furry gargoyle beast. The steaming mug of coffee fell out of his hands, falling all the way down onto the sidewalk, breaking into a hot puddle of shards. Pedestrians on the street looked in terror as they saw the winged demon grab the man by the throat, pinning him up against the building's windows with no effort. Instead of ending the man right then and there, the monster punched him in the stomach with its other hand, letting out what could only have been a laugh while doing so. Every time the man cried out in pain or panicked, the demon simply punched him in the stomach again, seemingly torturing him for its own sick amusement. Eventually, the pedestrian crowd started panicking too.

"Eventually he will. If he hasn't gotten back to me in a couple of days, well I know where he lives and this time I'll bring a camera crew if I have to."

Then he heard people shouting and screaming, looked around and saw them pointing. There was a...thing attacking someone up on the scaffold that stood next to the building he was about to enter.

"Ah crap." he muttered. looked for a convenient concealed alcove, found it and ducked in.

"At least i don't have to worry about taking my clothes off in public." Someday he'd have to try and firgure out wjere his clothes went when he changed. Unfortunately the only person who could have told him was dead.

Seconds later...

"GET READY TO RRRUMBLLLE!!" the Creeper cackled as he burst from concealment and climbed up the smooth side of the building where Jack Ryder worked, somtimes using the scaffoling as an assist.

The monstrosity quit attacking the worker when it saw the yellow skinned wacky man climbing up the scaffolding. The sudden appearance of the loud and colorful Creeper horrified the hairy creature, who cried out in fear, and in an act of desperation, the beast shoved the man off the scaffold, hoping it would distract the incredibly poisonous looking figure that was approaching it. The beast made a run off the scaffolding attempting to fly away, but it tripped and fell off the edge before it could jump, landing all the way down onto the sidewalk near the building as the huge wings on its back flapped uselessly. The creature made a high-pitched scream, and limped away as as the crowds of civilians around it screamed and ran.

As the worker fell, Creeper caught him by one arm (dislocating it), slung him over his back and, using the scaffolding and swung down to the ground.

"That was no fun, he ran away!" He then did the same and, when he found a convenient spot changed back..

After Pyko managed to find Detective Carter's contact info and download into Rocket's computers, and the raccoon was about to call him -

"Uh oh," Pyko said. "I'm picking up several cell phone 911 calls from down town!"

"Well at least today's gonna be productive," Rocket said sarcastically. "What's it about?"

"Some kinda giant monster - "

"Say no more!" Rocket said, jumping off the chair and gathering the needed weapons.

"That's it? You can at least wait until I give you a description!"

"Somehow, I honestly doubt any of the beasties on this planet is gonna compared to some the other places I've been to," Rocket said. "I think I've be able to make this my grand debut!"

"Really? I thought you were gonna at least wait until you bagged a major crime boss?"

"Giant monsters tend to take precedence, due immediate lives being at stake." Soon the fuzzy mercenary finished prepping up and climbed up above the computer terminal, pressing against the ship hull above to reveal a square hole. "Send me the coordinates of where the monster might be!"

"Got it!" Pyko said just before the vid screen disappeared. When Rocket entered the hole, it closed up and the entire ship immediately folded back into its compacted form. The top of the ship then opened up.

-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-

Outside the ruined building, something shot up from the second floor and flew into the air.

Rocket Raccoon, wearing a specialized rocket pack, hovered as he checked his wrist computer, a display map of New York City opening up, seeing a stylized "R" showing his location, and a bright red dot showing his target. Holding tight the handles, the raccoon pushed forward, the woodland creature blasting off into the distance towards his quarry. By the time he got there, that yellow skinned freak in the speedo rescued the window washer.

Makes things easier, Rocket thought.

And then he saw the monster.....some kinda of giant, bipedal bat creature. It looked like it was limping away, but it still presented a danger to the public......

To make an entrance! he thought.

Rocket divebombed towards the bat creature. He flew over it, flipped around, and landed on a clear bit of area right in front the bat creature. The jetpack's control handles folded up, and in one fluid motion took off and the pack and pointed his pistols at the bat monster. All this flair was down right in front of the public, the civilians having front rows seats as a tiny raccoon armed with tiny little guns are facing off a giant monster.

"Alright bat boy, surrender nice and quiet like and won't hafta make a necklace outta yer fangs when I rip'em outta yer mouth!!" Rocket said.

The grizzly, 6'7 behemoth with wings turned around when it heard Rocket Raccoon's voice. It had a nervous look on its face, until it noticed that it wasn't being chased by the yellow nightmare. It scanned the crowd, then finally noticed Rocket Raccoon, and assumed that it was the voice calling out at it. The beast was not intimidated by the Raccoon's threat at all, but it recognized his guns as being weapons, small as they were. The creature swiftly grabbed a woman by the neck and lifted her off the ground, covering her mouth with one hand and holding her with the other, and backed away with a wobble in its step. In the event the Raccoon shot his guns, the creature would use the woman as a shield.

"Clever," Rocket said in response to the beast's tactic.

The raccoon, still training his gun on the beast, pulled out what was a metal ball bearing and flicked it out the monster's feet. It rolled past the monster, under him and near his foot. Unknown to the monster, the ball bearing soon came to a stop, flattened on the ground, and started emitting a small, faint light.

As the monster's foot went above the device - *SNAP WHAM!!*

A large bear trap suddenly appeared out of no where and clasped tight on the bat monster's leg before disappearing after five seconds.

If successfully in causing the monster to drop his hostage, Rocket quickly drop the jetpack and blast forward to the Bat creature on his rocket skates, ending to a fist to the monster's face.

Rocket Raccoon's trap worked. The beast was unaware of the ball bearing really being a trap, and when the bear trap activated, it dropped the woman and screamed at the top of its lungs, its wings opening completley. When the bear trap vanished into thin air, the beast grabbed its leg instead of focusing on Rocket Raccoon. When Rocket Raccon moved in to attack, it was taken completley off-guard, and was finally knocked over onto its back with a yelp.

The beast clutched its nose and whined, and sat back up, but made no attempt to attack anybody else. It still continued to withdraw from Rocket Raccoon, pathetically. When it felt the blood seep down from its nose, it grew sick, and finally surrendered, shielding its face with its wings and stopping.

It took a rather long flight across the state of New York, but at long last, North Salem could be seen coming up. The humble villages and green land stood as a bit of a contrast to the city. After a little while of searching about, Blue Beetle and Storm could see a huge plot of land. There sat a lakeside, a forest, a towering hill and sitting in the middle of it all was a splendid mansion. The grand estate was composed of three rectangular buildings attached together, the middle smaller than the rest, and behind it sat tennis courts, a playing field, and an olympic-sized swimming pool. In front of the building, there was a large circular driveway, dotted on all sides by antiquated street lamps, and of course there was a large main gate.

"Hello, this is, err, Rogue," Anna Marie frowned a bit, snapping her out of her thoughts. "I'd like to schedule an appointment to, err, visit the institute over the weekend?"

Anna Marie chuckled, nervously. Maybe she should've accepted Blue Beetle's offer to take her there, but she figured school was more important anyway. She'd probably be able to get a bus ride to West Salem over the weekend.

"Saturday between 2 and 5, got it!" Anna Marie repeated as she wrote down the information on the back of the flier Storm had given her. "Umm, thank you... goodbye."

Anna Marie soon hung up. She stared at Stark's business card for a while and decided to clarify things to him. However, she knew that she couldn't tell the truth that Rocket Raccoon was a talking alien raccoon. He'd think she was crazy. After thinking on what she could use as an excuse, she called the number.

Anna Marie gulped a bit... After all, Tony Stark was a very rich man. It would be best if she did not make a wrong impression.

Tony was hard at work on his project, currently holding down a flat panel of metal on his worktable with one hand, and pounding at it with a large flat hammer with the other, scowling a bit at a kink in the metal that was refusing to give way to the percussive force. Granted, he could have just put this into his machining press and had it fixed in a second, but after the day he'd had, he was feeling the urge to pound the hell out of something, so he figured this doubled as work and stress relief at the same time. The ultimate multi-tasker, that was him.

His thin phone was resting on the corner of the desk, so when it began to buzz, it was very easy for him to shift his aim, raising the hammer up, glancing to the phone, barely even hesitating in his motion-

Sir, that would make this the third phone this week, his AI said, giving pause to the automatic motion.

"I'm going for the high score." He held his position, hammer poised to strike.

Sir, may I respectfully request that you do not? Miss Potts would be most displeased.

"...well, the last thing I want is displeased Pepper." He let out a breath as he put the hammer down on the desk, reaching up to wipe sweat from his brow from the work, and reached out to pick up the phone, eyeballing it a moment, before clearing his throat, taking a long, deep breath, and answering it, a grin coming to his face and his voice as easygoing and professional as it ever was. "Stark."

"Well, the raccoon's a raccoon," Anna Marie rambled nervously. "Er, I mean it's not animatronic... the raccoon, that is..."

"Oh, yes, from the bank earlier." Tony's voice stayed pleasant and conversational. "Yes, I'm aware that the raccoon wasn't a robot. Believe me, dear, I know robotics inside and out, and thus far I haven't managed to conquer the Uncanny Valley, so if I haven't done it, I don't think anyone else has. That being said, I am still immensely curious about what precisely was going on, but I knew if I acted too interested, that would just bring down a lot more scrutiny on your little...team or whatever it was than you might have wanted. The perils of having eyes on you at all times and all that...what was your name, sweetheart?"

"Anna Marie Carlyle," Anna Marie replied to Tony Stark. "But people call me Rogue."

"Umm, I don't think you'd believe me if I told you what that raccoon was," Anna Marie looked to the side, nervously. She probably should've figured that Stark knew Rocket wasn't animatonic, but she was nervous now and was distracted at the time of their first meeting.
