Queens, Nightfall
Peter, in his red-blue Spider-Man suit, swung between buildings, landing at an abandoned warehouse. Under dim lights, familiar figures waited. Daredevil leaned against a wall, sensing Peter's approach. "You're here, Spider-Man," he said without turning.
"What's going on?" Peter landed on a container. "The Regime Squad's practically executing people in the streets!"
"It's worse than we thought," Luke Cage said from the shadows, arms crossed, muscles taut.
Jessica Jones sat on crates, sipping whiskey, eyes weary. Iron Fist sat cross-legged, chi faintly glowing. Moon Knight leaned against a wall, white cloak flickering, voice low and fractured. "They're coming. The moon says so."
White Tiger crouched on a beam, cat-like eyes narrowing. Peter blinked. "So, this is the unregistered underground meet-up?"
Luke snorted. "No, it's the 'we're not government dogs' alliance."
Jessica downed her drink. "We don't have Stark's tech or mutant mind powers, but…"
"We're not wearing handcuffs either," Daredevil finished, voice calm.
The warehouse door burst open. Punisher strode in, rifle slung, followed by Blade, adjusting his shades. "Heard you're fighting the government. Count me in," Blade said.
Iron Fist stood, fists glowing. "What's the plan?"
"Fight them," Moon Knight chuckled. "The moon approves."
Suddenly, Peter's spider-sense blared, joined by others' instincts. Boom! The roof exploded. Nite Owl hung from a beam, blades spinning. "Per Act Section 7, you're all criminals."
Power Princess landed, sword piercing the concrete. "Surrender or die."
Peter gulped, striking a pose. "Uh, guys, should we—"
"Fight," Punisher growled, cocking his rifle.
Luke cracked his knuckles. "Been waiting for this."
Jessica smashed her bottle. "Screw it. Nobody's having a good day!"
Luke charged Power Princess, his steel fist aiming for her face. Clang! She caught it, elbowing his chest. Crack! Luke flew back, crashing through a truck.
"That's it?" Power Princess sneered. "Unbreakable?"
Nite Owl darted, blades drawing blood. Speed Demon blurred around Peter, landing a gut punch. "Too slow," he taunted, pinning Peter's wrist. "Surrender? Register, and you might live."
Jessica swung a steel beam at Dr. Spectrum, blocked by his prism barrier. Iron Fist's chi was disrupted by Dr. Arcane's green skull spell. Moon Knight, bloodied, faced Hawkwoman. "The moon says we won't last five minutes."
"Then we take some with us!" Punisher roared, bullets deflected by Hawkwoman's wings.
Blade's silver sword grazed Speed Demon, but he was choked in return. "Vampire?" Speed Demon sneered. "The Act doesn't say keep you alive."
The street heroes were losing. Jessica was kicked through walls, Punisher's rifle was sliced, Peter's webs were torn, and Blade's sword was deflected.
Power Princess raised her sword. "This is your strength? I expected more."
Boom! An energy blast buried Nite Owl. Iron Man's palm cannons glowed. "Sorry to crash your party."
Adam floated beside him. "Right on time."
Power Princess smirked. "Worthy opponents."
Hulk's roar echoed, and Natasha's voice came from the shadows, her and Hawkeye's weapons locked on targets. The heroes rallied. A golden portal opened—James, Kara, and Wanda stepped out.
Kara's blonde hair danced, eyes glowing red. "Looking for Kryptonians?"
Wanda's chaos magic flared. "Time to change the rules."
James hovered, arms crossed, overlooking the battlefield. The heroes rallied behind Iron Man, the tide turning. "Tonight, we rewrite the rules," Tony's faceplate snapped shut.
"Move!" James commanded.
