War, What is it Good For?
There was a crackling of light and the Avengers appeared in the middle of the rebellion base, some kind of underground bunker. Guards pointed their weapons, while others moved to protect some of the more civilliany looking people gathered. There were quite a few people with cybernetic parts, like Steve, and even a few people who looked to be part animal. All races, genders, and creeds were represented. In this time, in this place, there was no room for hatred between man, only hatred of their invaders.

Steve raised a hand. "It's okay, guys. Stand down. I said I'd get help and I meant it. Codeword: Fisherman."

The guards seemed to accept this, and one with what looked to be maybe a couple of rank badges approached them. "Never doubted you for a second, sir," he said, tossing off a sharp salute. "We've got movement figures. The generals would like to talk to you."

Steve nodded. "Tell them we'll be there."

He looked back over his friends. "Everybody make it?"

The War Room was one of the more technologically advanced portions of the Rebellion's bunker, with digital displays along the walls and a holographic map of the city in the center.

"Made it just in time, Barton," a gray-haired woman, one of the Rebellions' leaders, said.

"I told you I'd be back," he said. "And I brought some of my toughest friends. You've got the Avengers on your side now."

The leaders took in the Avengers and seemed satisfied by this.

"We still going with the three-pronged approach?" Steve asked, getting an affirmative answer.

One of the male leaders went on to elaborate.

"Essentially, we have a rare window of opportunity to attack the Mothership, while hitting two other simultaneous points, the slave pens and the central power facility. We take those things out, we end this war once and for all. Three teams, three strikes. With your super-powered friends on our side, we should be able to deal with anything they can dish out."

	"We're in New York, believe it or not," Steve told Mac. "So we're not far from the Atlantic Ocean or any of the rivers. Plenty of water still." He went on. "We've got a few small boarding craft for the assault on the mothership. We believe there's still some prisoners there. I'll be joining that team." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It shouldn't," Steve said. "The Malacandrans basically were able to run roughshod over this Earth because they attacked before the Age of Heroes. They're definitely not on the level of the Kree or the Skrull, they were just the biggest thing Earth had to deal with then.

Don't underestimate them... but they're not at all used to fighting people with any kind of power."

The only thing left to do was address the troops. And that was a responsibility Steve had taken on.

"I've only been here two years," he began, "but in that time, I've come to know you all as the bravest, best soldiers anyone could ask for. We've had our victories and our losses. The Malacandrans have hit us hard, have hit this world hard. But you've never given up, never rolled over, and fought for every square inch of space and for every life. Fought hard, fought bravely.

Today marks the day we fight one more time. But this will be the last fight. This is for all the marbles, all or nothing. If we win today, the world will be freed. If we lose, then that's the end of everything. But we're not going to lose. Because this is our world. Because our cause is just. Because we will not lose!

The time has come to take back our planet and show them that humanity will never roll over! That the most dangerous man is a man with something to fight for!"

He pulled the shield from his back and showed it to them, the red, white, and blue disk still perfect after all these years.

"We!

Will!

Not!

Lose!"

He raised it high. "For Earth! For Humanity! For everyone!"

The cheers and applause were almost deafening.
