Tuesday

11 am

Chief Inspector Zeynap Kaya cabin

Izmir Police Department ICPD

Zeynap POV

I was in my office and had just finished watching the live broadcast of channel 24. Last night was something else. Sea people invaded the surface world!

And Izmir was saved by Batman in a high tech Submarine, the Batsub! Other heroes also appeared to save the world and just few hours ago, this invasion was over.

Which was caused by a cosmic being, Set! Then, this broadcast. It had blown away my mind. Moving my hands through my hair....

Zeynap " Batman is 23 years old and left hand of Enigma. He's a commanding member of SCP Foundation. An organisation led by ultimate super Meta human, Enigma.

But he's a pure human and a genius. And my daughter Elara and son Deniz are fan of his teammates. How did I not realise that?! All his resources are because of SCP Foundation."

DAMN! I put my head on the table. We had been lowered on man force especially trusting ones. Should I trust him? Or should I work with him? I just lost a friend.

I didn't know if we could be friends.

8 am

Stark tower

Manhattan, NYC

Tony was awakened by Jarvis saying Fury had called him. If he didn't come to Shield HQ Triskelion at 9 am. He would be here with returned Avengers and FF.

And Tony Didn't want a party like that yet. So, he started getting ready. He was about to eat his breakfast when lift of the floor opened. Meaning, it was a friend.

Otherwise, Jarvis would not let them come here. The person, who came surprised him. It was Pepper Potts. One, who left him after Project: Sentinel.

Because he was one of the scientists in IT! She had a serious look.

Tony " Didn't you leave?"

Nodding...

Pepper " I did but I saw you working together last night with the same guy, you tried to kill. So, I decided to come. I don't like my current job."

She said with a smile.

Tony" I never fired you. If you want to, you can work here. But workload is already heavy."

He smirked.

Pepper" You can leave that to me."

Standing up...

Tony" Good. I am leaving for a meeting at Shield HQ Triskelion."

Then, he donned his armour.

Pepper" For what?"

Tony " Nothing specific. Jarvis send the quinjet when I give you signal."

He ordered his AI.

Jarvis" Yes, sir."

Then, he flew out of the Stark tower.

....

9:15 am

Shield HQ Triskelion

Conference room

FF and Avengers, who had returned from their missions. They were already briefed on Atlanteans Invasion, Tony and SCP Foundation alliance and channel 24 broadcast especially about peace talks.

Now, Tony was sitting in a exasperated manner before everyone. Fury was glaring at him with his single eye.

Tony " Can you talk already? It's been 15 minutes already. I have a tough schedule."

Wasp" Like what?"

She teased him. Tony smiled back at her.

Tony " Like my presence during the diplomatic relations between France and Atlantis during the peace talks."

A silence was spread around. Wasp was looking at him with widened eyes. Before anyone could spoke, Fury slammed his fist on the table.

Fury " So, you accept not just your alliance with SCP Foundation but also your involvement in the diplomatic relations with France and Atlantis during this meeting...."

Cutting his words...

Tony" Which is going to happen soon. So, yeah. I am busy. Are you done?"

Everyone was surprised at Tony's bravery. This was more than his ego. A superiority.

Fury " Who do you think, you are?"

At that time, his phone rang.

He's Iron man~

Iron man~

Tony touched his comlink.

Tony" Yeah, I will be there. Enigma. Bye."

Fury" Did you just receive a call from HIM?!"

He was enraged.

Tony" What didn't you say before ' Tony, this Hydra mission doesn't have any of your villains. So, stand down for a while.' I kinda did. I was checking my Submarine suit.

And guess what, I got a chance to save the East coast of America, solo. Unlike Avengers, who were saving West coast of America together. FF were busy with their buddy, Dr Doom.

And the main part. He asked me, first. So, I got in. Plus, Cap. Your friend, King Namor wants to meet you. You have a good friend. He was facing all invasion pressure for your friendship.

Especially when he heard rumours of your return, he was more adamant. Don't you want to hangout with him? It's his request by the way."

Fury" When?"

With a smile...

Tony" After Atlanteans fleets leaving, I was called through Enigma's portal. I went there in my Submarine suit. So, he requested me this and acknowledged my efforts being different from dad's.

So, Cap?"

Steve" I will love to, considering how he didn't wage war after all those nuclear testing. I want to thank him."

Standing up...

Tony" Then, get ready. They are leaving at 5 pm which is our 11 am here. Quinjet will be here anytime."

As Cap stood up...

Fury" Then, let me or Natasha Romanova go with you."

Tony" Fury. He only asked for him. And we are going with SCP Foundation transportation. I am just escorting Cap there. Consider this, my attempt of easing things for USA with Atlantis.

And don't try to bug his suit. SCP tech will fry them and keep the channel 24 rolling."

Everyone was baffled and speechless.

Fury" They are going live?!"

With a smile....

Tony" Yeah."

....

4:30 pm

Near Eiffel Tower

Paris

Ironman and Captain America arrived in a quinjet marked with an Avengers A mark. Quinjet landed near the Eiffel Tower. Its ramp opened up and both came out.

Steve was in his Captain America suit. Tony was in his Submarine suit. At that time, channel 24 reporters were there already broadcasting the start of the event.

Soon, Enigma came there floating with Laury Thilleman in a traditional dress of sea green colour. People were also there, taking pictures and filming this event.

Soon, SUVs arrived there and President and his team came out of them. Then, a silver M shaped ship with SCP Foundation symbol on its left and right engines with big blasters and weapons systems appeared in the air.

It's thrusters were on but it was sound proof.

Tony " Damn! How such big ship is sound proof and flames are indigo! But they don't seems like hydrogen fueled. Must be using something, we don't know yet."

Cap" But what is IT?!"

He asked.

Enigma" It's a M shaped space fighter with 14 person cargo. Considering, we are 5 and 7 people from government including President and two channel 24 people were coming.

This is an ideal choice."

He said coming with Laury, who was hugging his left arm. Cap moved forward raising his right hand for handshake.

Cap" It's nice to finally officially meeting you. Thanks for saving the world when we were busy."

Giving him a firm grasp...

Enigma" It's alright. It's nothing new. Besides, I am from Brooklyn. So, we are practically from same place."

His eyes widened...

Cap" Really?! That's good to hear."

Then, M shaped ship landed calmly without any noise and it's ramp opened same way without making any sound. Then, Cementhose came out. He went towards Enigma and others.

Cementhose " Everything ready. We are good to go."

Cap" You are...I mean, were an African American."

He tried to confirm hearing his African American accent.

Enigma " Yeah, he's from Harlem. We started SCP Foundation together 16 years ago."

Their eyes widened.

Ironman" No doubt, they don't have data on you."

Cap" Why?"

A silence remained.

Cementhose" Racial riots."

He said and looked towards Enigma. Who nodded and Laury hug tightened. Seemed like she was told.

Cap" So, it's more than mut... Meta human persecution."

He tightened his fist.

President Sarkozy" That's the tip of the iceberg, Cap. There are many reasons why they were not recognised by USA but France is different. Today's event is a big example of that."

Tony" But it's impossible without SCP Foundation. "

With a smile...

President Sarkozy" Of course, we cherish our alliance based on give and take principle of SCP Foundation."

Cementhose" We should leave, it's about time. Your sitting arrangements are in right cargo. M1 will guide you and take care of any needs. Cap and Iron man along channel 24 people and information Minister will be in left wing.

M2 will guide you. Me, Enigma with Laury and intelligence Minister will be in the cockpit."

Then, they went into the M shaped ship with everyone before the cheering crowd. M shaped ship side thrusters ignited silently. It takes off in the air. Then, it moved like a blur.

....

5 pm

Neptunia

Atlantis

Lea POV

I was in the left cargo wing of the M shaped ship. M6 was helping me in my touch up.

Lea" Thanks."

M6" You are welcome. Now, Marc give me your camera. I will attach a tech. So, subtitles could appear when Atlantean language will be used and this tech will also help in its working under water."

Marc handed over his camera. M6 small silver Android attached a circular device to it. Soon, a silver lining covered the camera.

Lea" What did you do?"

M6" I installed the subtitle mode and forcefield. It will keep it safe in deep water pressure."

He gave the camera back to Marc. Who grabbed it with trembling hands.

Marc" Huh?! It's battery is full?!"

M6" The tech, I attached will keep it charged. Now, raise your hands."

We saw same things happening to others except Ironman. M2 had attached a tech to his armoured hand which made him yell in surprise. Raising our hands, I asked.

M6" What are you doing? Can you tell us, what M2 give to Ironman?"

M6" I am attaching a tech on the back of your hand. It will make you understand Atlantean language through a neural link. It will also create a forcefield around you and your clothes to keep you dry and safe from deep ocean water pressure.

As for your vision, we will provide you breathing mask and specs for visuals shortly. And you can record it now or later. As for Ironman, he has been given an encyclopaedia of Atlantis history and other stuff."

I decided to do it later. Soon, he came with masks and specs. Specs merged with forcefields easily. Same for masks, they clasped around our mouths.

M6" Don't worry, they are created considering different skins sensitivities. Now, you should start recording. We are almost there."

Then, Marc connected camera to studio through SCP Foundation provided tech in our studio. Then, I recounted about techs on my backhand on our camera, specs and transparent breathing masks.

Then, we went to cockpit and saw an amazing sight. An underwater city surrounded by stone walls and Coral towers. Walls were shining with pearls. Giant sea creatures were patrolling around.

They gave us way. We were moving forward above the sea made of corals. In the centre was a giant statue of a long bearded and long hair man. His hair of head and beard were wavy.

They were almost covering his chest in the mid. It was made of corals. He was holding a Trident.

Lea" Good evening, everyone! As you can see, we have crossed the boundary of Neptunia. We are currently headed towards the temple under the giant statue of the Poseidon.

It seems to be made of corals...."

Enigma" Those are not corals only. They are an alloy made of corals, marble and some metals."

He said from behind us coming with Laury. Who was also covered in a forcefield. She was watching everything with a smile.

Lea" How?"

Enigma " It's hard but not impossible. What you need is right tools and techniques."

Another big thing. Then, we went down towards the temple to land.

...

5:05 pm

Poseidon's temple

Neptunia, Atlantis

Lea POV

We went out of the cockpit when it landed. I saw M1 giving some documents and pens to President Sarkozy team.

Lea" Will paper not spoil here?"

M1" The papers are made from hydrophobic materials even the ink and the folders too. "

Amazing! Then, we crossed a transparent veil like door and ramp was opened. Then, following Enigma and Laury, everyone came out. Marc was filming everything.

Temple was of Greek Minoan Architecture.

Lea" Everyone, this is the entrance of the temple similar to Greek Minoan Architecture!"

Then, we saw few Atlanteans coming out male and female. They were wearing tunics. Some male guards were in loin clothes. And female guards were wearing loin clothes and using sea shells as bras.

Their breasts were either falling below or visible above. As for men, their cock shapes were almost visible. Representing Atlanteans were wearing tunics in both genders.

Males had knee length tunics with belly belts and female had long tunics with a single slit on left leg till their upper thighs with frills. They were colourful too.

Lea" Some representative are here in tunics with guards in military... garbs."

Atlantean male" We are here to escort you, Sir Enigma. Council and his majesty, King Namor and Lady Dorma awaits."

He said politely.

Enigma" Lead the way."

I also saw Laury glaring at a female guard checking Enigma. Then, we followed him inside. The architecture was remarkable. It was like old Greek sites in action!

Soon, we entered a big hall. There was a large statue of Poseidon on an upper stage like floor connected with stairs. There were King Namor, Queen Dorma and Atlantean Council waiting for us.

King Namor was looking at us then his eyes stopped on Captain America.

King Namor " Steve. So, you are alive!"

He swam towards Captain America. He swam fast! Both hugged each other and shook hands.

Captain America" I am happy that you didn't wage war, friend."

Then, Namor turned towards Ironman.

King Namor" You bring, Steve. You kept your word. I trust you now."

Ironman" Thanks. Can I scan your tech?"

But Captain America rebuked him. Then, King Namor came with Lady Dorma towards us. It was Queen Dorma, who reminded him about us. Then, he shook hands with Enigma and Laury SHOOK HANDS WITH QUEEN DORMA AFTER A PROPER GREETING WHILE HOLDING HER OWN GOWN!

Then, President Sarkozy shook hands with King Namor. President and his team went to upper floor near Poseidon's statue. A table was arranged there.

Lea" As you can see, that both parties are now sitting across table for peace talks!"

Then, we moved forward and Enigma helped us in getting a corner seat with full view. Then, the discussion about culture exchange, communications and different points started.

Then, some refreshments came. Some of these were raw food. Of course, Atlanteans were eating those.

....

7 pm

Poseidon's Temple

Neptunia, Atlantis

Everyone came out during this, Lea and Marc were sent out to a tour of the Neptunia when some hard topics came. It was Enigma because they were about to talk about something drastic.

Laury was with channel 24 Lea and Marc escorted by Atlanteans guards and M1 and M2 also joined them. Saying that they were ordered by Enigma.

Tony went to check their technology and Steve went after him to make sure, he would not do anything bad. Now, they converged back near the ramp. They were about to leave.

They exchanged good byes and boarded the M shaped ship and went back to Paris like a blur.

Wednesday

9 am

United Nations HQ

Manhattan, NYC

The general assembly was full with ambassadors. They were murmuring about Atlantis invasion and peace talks. Then, president Ban Ki Moon arrived on his pedestal.

After some moments, he hit the gavel few times to gain attention.

President " Honourable members! Before starting today session, we will show our gratitude to both Ironman and the SCP Foundation for their efforts in the Atlantic invasion!

Both forces work is worthy of appreciation due to zero casualties in such big event. That's why, we are going to show our gratitude in a way already done!"

After that Ironman and SCP Foundation intro were being played on the screens which channel 24 played yesterday. After those intros, President struck his gavel again.

President " Now, I believe USA ambassador wants to say something."

After that USA Ambassador Susan Rice stood up from her seat.

Susan " Thank you, Mr President! Yesterday was a day and night across Atlantic Ocean which turned our sense of our world upside down. Atlantis which was a strategic partner in WW2 of allied forces.

Which broke ties upon our start of nuclear testing. Ending up attacking the surface world but it was done by a traitor of Atlantis. Because King Namor was against it.

Which resulted in a coupe d'etat perpetrated by Egyptian God Set! A cosmic being! But in these dire times, Ironman and SCP Foundation not only stop the invasion.

But also stopped the traitor general Krang and possessed Namor by Set. We show our deepest gratitude for both parties for such remarkable efforts.

But I will also want to talk about those events which happened yesterday. How France without informing or including any of UN countries especially USA started the peace talks on live broadcast!

I will also want to ask about the hard topics discussed by French team and SCP Foundation. Ironman and Captain America said they inquired information instead of resources.

USA and UN want to know about this information. And why they didn't demand for resources? That's all, Mr President!"

She sat down on her chair and many countries besides UK, Brazil and Panama seemed eager to know about this information.

.....

21 December 2011

Wednesday

9:15 am

UN Assembly

UN HQ

Manhattan, NYC

French Ambassador Gerard Araud stood up from his seat and he touched his wrist watch. From which a hologram appeared to the gasps of the audience.

He was working on something but to audience it was obscure white screen. This was something even Shield hadn't experienced.

Gerard " Mr President! I know that including you all my fellow ambassadors want to know about the information which we gained from the Atlantis.

Before that I want to show the information about the prelude to Atlantis coupe d'etat and the subsequent invasion of its forces on the surface world."

He swiped his fingers on the hologram and visuals appeared on the screens of general assembly resulting in gasps and awes. A map of Europe, Africa, South America and North America appeared on the screens with red points.

Gerard " My fellow esteemed delegates! What you are seeing is the machinations of the Egyptian avatar/God of wrath and destruction, Set!

Including warlocks, he has other followers like clerics and paladins. He also had his own made creations, the Yuan Tii. They are humanoid with snake like lower body with a serpent head.

Or a humanoid with reptilians arms and serpent head. They, also have beautiful females for luring out targets and other sneaky stuff. They have snake like eyes without eye brows."

All these pictures were being shown on the screens. Everyone was baffled, astonished and speechless with shocking revelation.

Gerard " And Set isn't the only one, who has followers. Other good and neutral members of African Helipolitan or Egyptian mythology also has clerics, druids, paladins, rangers, sorcerers and warlocks.

Knowing that he started skirmishes along the continents. Which we learned through SCP Foundation members, who still haven't, what you call make a hero's debut."

After some moments....

Gerard" I know that some of you are thinking, what followers of an Egyptian god are doing in other continents. It's pretty simple. Because they are foreigners."

Susan Rice stood up.

Susan" How?!"

Gerard" Thanks for asking that Susan. Actually, it's because of our human nature. We are attracted to far away places. Like Parisians want to visit Niagara Falls and they want to see Eiffel Tower.

In simple words when tourists from other countries arrived in African countries with ties with Helipolitan mythology. Their inner emotions attract the avatars of aspects or gods.

Like in Set case, anger attracts wrath even murderers"

Everyone was shocked and speechless.

Egyptian ambassador" So, you are saying Gods pick their followers like this. "

Gerard" Yes. But don't worry. It's not always happened when they came to your country. It also happens when they came across the lores of these gods or avatars and are felt attracted.

But gods or avatars are really picky too and once being picked, can't be changed. You will belonge to their system. Meaning, your afterlife is connected to their dimension."

Gasps were heard again.

Norway" Like Valhalla."

With a smile...

Gerard " Good analogy. According to our Intel..."

He displayed the map again.

Gerard" Set's followers gained attraction of other followers of good members of Egyptian mythology. It was a distraction. So, a warlock from their circle can deliver the Crown of Wisdom to Krang.

Who was contacted earlier by Set's warlock when he was angry on King Namor for not waging war on the surface world for their nuclear testing. Another thing which some of my fellow ambassadors are currently thinking.

Yes, there are followers of others pantheons too only excluding Asgard."

Then, he sat down and was given a water bottle to drink by his junior in France block while entire assembly was shocked including the whole world.

.....

9:30 am

UN Assembly Hall

UN HQ

Manhattan, NYC

President Ban Ki Moon struck his gavel multiple times to gain attention. Then, he turned towards French ambassador.

President " Honourable French Ambassador Gerard Araud! When did French government get this information from SCP Foundation?"

Gerard stood up and said.

Gerard" After he helped French intelligence in catching Hydra cell responsible for delivering hydrogen bomb to those terrorists involved in Eiffel Tower event.

Enigma enhanced our intelligence in revealing and capturing Shield agents. Then, he provided us informations about our surroundings countries. Hidden forces."

Taking a deep breath...

Gerard" We hesitated at first even though we had seen Greek avatars of aspects in Paris on 6 December 2011. Our historians and mytholigist too were doubtful.

But Atlantis invasion and Set made us trust SCP Foundation completely."

Iran ambassador" You called them avatars of aspects but also called gods. Don't you believe in one Creator?!"

With a smile....

Gerard" I called them avatars of aspects, who ruled certain dimensions. They were created by our Creator, the one true God. As, you had heard Enigma's interview, he talked about God's test.

Which he learned during his other worldly travels. A truth spread by the Celestials, holy constructs left by Creator. A test called laissez-faire. We understand it now.

Creator has given us free will and choice to choose sides. We all know that there's only one Creator. But there are some, who deviates us from the path linking to our Creator.

These cosmic beings are a test of our faith and afterlife."

Saying that he sat again among gasps.

....

9:45 am

UN assembly hall

UN HQ

Manhattan, NYC

After President striking gavel multiple times more to bring order in the hall. France ambassador Gerard Araud stood up again and used his wrist watch to raised hologram again.

This time, he swiped again and visuals appeared on the screens.

Gerard " As you know, Mr President! There is zero casualties on our and on Atlanteans sides during the invasion. So, neither of us demanded resources. We demanded information and they asked for SCP Foundation alliance!"

Gasps were heard again in the hall.

Gerard" We asked about how coupe d'etat was handled in the Atlantis itself. It didn't mean that we d... SCP Foundation didn't have information. They knew, they just want us to learn from them."

Susan" What?"

She inquired with building frustration.

Gerard " About followers of Poseidon. His clerics, druids, paladins, rangers, sorcerers and warlocks. Atlantean Council admitted their presence. The people in tunics, who escorted us were clerics!

We also confirmed another information about Atlanteans. That at the moment of great cataclysm which destroyed Minoan civilization and Their 3 quarters out of 4 part of their land was drowning.

It was Poseidon, who gave their ancient alchemist a vial of his blood with certain liquids to change humans into Atlanteans. So, they could live under the sea.

One, who strayed from his laws. They were changed into Lemurians. An animalistic sub species of Atlanteans. Who started worshipping avatars of evil aspects."

After some moments....

Gerard" These followers are Granted spells to control water and ice. Which were enhanced by their underwater environment. Their greatest spell, Tsunami.

They have two dozens of such casters. There are some wizards too. Now, if we compare from USA heroes only Hulk and Thor will be to destroy such tidal wave.

Ironman, who knows. But if they were involved in the invasion. What would have happened? Avengers and Fantastic Four were busy. Can Ironman prepare something against them in such short time?"

A deadly silence was spread.

Gerard" But as we saw in Enigma battling Namor possessed by Set. We saw that he could do this easily. Plus, we have been told that among the appeared 8 heroes excluding Neuro Sting everyone else is capable of such feat even Batman."

Gasps were heard, Susan was speechless.

Gerard " Now, for ambassadors of UK, Brazil and Panama even African ambassadors. We have some information about your countries. We can share it if you want."

UK ambassador " We will love to."

Others gave affirmative response too. Susan Rice stood up in anger.

Susan " Are you trying to make a group?!"

Gerard " No, we are going to share with our allies unlike USA, who has a monopoly over Shield. Even SCP Foundation is going to invest in our eco energy programs.

Now, excuse us."

Then, France delegate started leaving the hall and before everyone eyes, UK, Brazil, Panama and African countries delegates followed them out. Susan sat with a shocking look with a slack jaw.

Other delegates started murmuring and brainstorming. President Ban Ki Moon adjourned the session.
