Intro post

Hello, my name is Ace. I got this because a Deadpool variant wouldn't stop nagging me... so uh. Here I am. No racism, homophonic, the basics.

Dont reffer to me as a kitsune or a dog.... please. I have 4 younger brothers but I'm pretty sure they are.. deceased so. Yeah.

Im around the age of 24. I'm 6'3 in height.

Mod: Hola, Ace is my OC, he started off as my TMNT oc, but then slowly went to marvel and such, so now he's just a multiverse traveler! Feel free to interact!! He's a anthropomorphic arctic wolf. He's been a test of Hydra, was in dog fights forcefully, along with other shit.

This is a very old drawing of him, I'll have to update it but for now it'll work.

S.O.S.

[serenastark-official]

Location: A high-security underground vault in Zurich. Time: 2:37 AM. Objective: Retrieve a stolen Stark Industries prototype before it falls into the wrong hands.

Snow crunched beneath Serena's boots as she pressed herself against the cold metal wall, her breath coming in quiet puffs of mist. The facility was eerily silent—too silent. Her gut told her this wasn't going to be a simple in-and-out job. Adjusting her gauntlet, she tapped her earpiece.

"C.A.R.L.O.S., tell me something good."

Define good, Miss Stark. If you mean the dozen heat signatures moving toward your position, then I regret to inform you that the news is quite bad.

Serena exhaled sharply. "Screw it. Let’s improvise."

Her HUD flickered as she scanned the room ahead—dim emergency lights cast long, jagged shadows. The prototype had to be close. But so was someone else.

A noise. Footsteps.

Serena raised her repulsor, eyes narrowing. Ally or foe? That was the million-dollar question.

"Alright, whoever’s out there, show yourself. You’ve got three seconds before I start blasting."

[mutantwolfiekit]

Ace's tail twitched against the snow, slightly dragging. God he hated this multiversal BULLSHIT; he just came back from a universe where- well, hell he didn't even want to think about it anymore. And just out of nowhere ZAP, in the middle of godamn nowhere. AGAIN.

His tattered hind paw pads made imprints on the snow; his tail every now and then swiping snow to cover bits. But he wasn't to worried. If anything he'd probably just get zapped again... however there was that lingering feeling that this might be a hydra base...

His ears perked as a voice ran out. Feminine, not one familiar. Imposed threat at the end of the sentence. firm.

As Ace went through the traits in his head he pressed himself gently against rhe cold wall, white fur fluffing up against it. He sniffed; not a recognized scent neither. Ace readied himself for a attack, after all, that's all he's been met with for the past months. "Large threat there." He called back in his gruff voice.

[serenastark-official]

Serena's repulsor stayed trained on the shadowy figure, her stance unwavering. "Large threat?" she echoed, arching a brow. "Buddy, you have no idea."

Her HUD adjusted, scanning the dimly lit corridor ahead. Infrared picked up an outline—quadrupedal, large, fur-covered. Not exactly what she was expecting. Not a merc, not a Hydra agent. But that didn’t mean he wasn’t dangerous.

She took a slow step forward, repulsor still humming with barely restrained energy. "You’ve got about three seconds to explain what you’re doing here before I decide you're part of the problem."

[mutantwolfiekit]

His ears strained as he heard her take a small step. Advancing. He narrowed his eyes, fur blowing softly against the slight wind. He kept hidden. He wasn't going to take any chances, not yet. His tail gave another twitch. "I figure if I tell you, you won't quit believe me. I wouldn't." Last time he tried to explain to someone, he was tested on. So. That was out the window. He had a few options here though: tell a lie, tell the truth, or tell a version of the truth.

The latter seemed more likely to work. But, he'd see how this played out.

[serenastark-official]

Serena exhaled, her breath misting in the cold air. "Oh, great. Cryptic answers. Love that," she muttered, lowering her repulsor just a fraction—but only a fraction.

"Alright, listen, White Fang," she said, still keeping her voice firm. "I don’t care if you’re from here, from space, or from some timeline where dogs run Wall Street. You’re in my way, and I’ve got a stolen prototype to retrieve. Either tell me you’re not going to be a problem, or we find out who’s got the better aim."

Her fingers flexed over the repulsor controls. "Spoiler alert: it's me."

[mutantwolfiekit]

the white fang comment made him freeze. His lips began to form into a growl but he stopped himself and took a breath; no. He was in no condition to fight. It wasn't this... persons fault to know that name may have hit some memories. Instead... he gave a small, faint smile. He needed to try a different approach to things.

"So you know what I look like." He mused, not asking. Clearly she had a device of some sort that could make her be able to see him. He then became serious once again. "I'm not here to cause issues, if you aren't, Dora the Explorer."

[serenastark-official]

Her lips twitched. "Dora the Explorer?" she echoed, mock-offended. "Alright, big guy, first of all, rude. Second, if I were Dora, I’d have a talking backpack and a monkey sidekick. All I’ve got is an AI with an attitude problem and a land shark who eats furniture."

Miss Stark, that is an inaccurate representation of my functionality—

"Yeah, yeah, take it up with my complaints department."

She relaxed her stance, slightly, but didn’t drop her guard entirely."Alright, I'll bite," she continued, lowering her repulsor—but not deactivating it. "If you’re not here to cause problems, then what are you doing in the middle of a high-security underground vault at two in the morning? Taking a scenic stroll?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

He chuckled softly, relaxing faintly. Ain't assistant? She reminded him of Stark. Might be a alternative version of him. He gave a small hum. So that's where I am.. He thought.

"Why yes, I just love the feeling of my tail freezing." He responded sarcastically. He then took a breath and a chance. He turned the corner, revealing his form. A tall, Scarred everywhere anthro wolf. He hoped this wouldn't get him shot; he was still recovering from everything else. "What are you doing in this high tech place, as you say it is?" He took in her appearance.

[serenastark-official]

"Okay, damn. Someone’s had a day," she muttered, scanning the scars crisscrossing his furred frame. Her repulsor lowered fully now, though her stance stayed guarded.

At his question, she smirked. "Oh, y’know, the usual—breaking into places, stealing back things that belong to my company, generally being a pain in the ass to bad guys. Typical Tuesday night." She gave him a once-over. "And something tells me you aren’t the ones I need to worry about."

Her fingers tapped a command on her gauntlet, pulling up a secondary scan. "So, mystery wolf—got a name? Or am I sticking with White Fang?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

he smirked slightly at her sarcasm in return. He relaxed a bit more, thankful she was no longer a threat. At the moment at least. He watched her gadgets. "I assure you I'm not. To be frank, i.. don't know where I even am. Well, bits and pieces I know of course." His ears twitched at faint sounds.

"Ace would be preferred. I know i look like the living recreation of White fang but... Rather not be reminded of that you could say." He grunted then his eyes landed back on her. "And you are? Tony stark, but female?" He teased slightly. He was trying to gauge if she knew who that was, to see if he was in one THOSE universes.

[serenastark-official]

Serena grinned. "Ace, huh? Alright, noted." She tapped a quick command into her gauntlet, silently filing that away. At his next comment, though, she actually barked out a laugh.

"Pfft—female Tony Stark? Yeah, pretty much." She gave a dramatic hair flip. "The better version, obviously. Smarter, funnier, and way better at accessorizing. I'm his daughter."

Her smirk softened just a bit. "Serena Stark." She watched his expression closely, looking for any flicker of recognition. If he was testing whether he was in one of those universes, she was definitely testing him right back.

"And you’re telling me you just poofed here, no clue how?" she pressed. "Because that sounds like a whole multiversal headache—and I really don’t need another one of those."

[mutantwolfiekit]

his daughter. His eyes widened slightly with surprise; he wasn't aware Tony had a daughter. Interesting. "Serena... nice name." He complimented. "Well-" he sighed and ran a paw through the back of his neck. "It's a complicated situation that I believe we don't have time to take a deep dive into. But yes. It's a multiversal headache. Even for Mr. Strange."

[serenastark-official]

Shall I notify Doctor Strange that you require his assistance?

"Absolutely not. Last thing I need is him monologuing about cosmic balance while I’m in the middle of a heist," she huffed, then shot Ace a knowing look. "Trust me, you don’t wanna deal with him unless you have to."

Serena smirked at Ace. "Good news, if you stick around long enough, I might be able to get you a ticket home. Bad news? We’ve still got a stolen prototype to recover, and I really don’t feel like getting shot at alone. You in?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

the Anthro wolf weighed his options: on one side, she could be tricking him. She could secretly be part of hydra. However her scent wasn't blood and corpses so.. unlikely. Another possible outcome was-

Ace shook his head. God he really needed to stop doing this. Sometimes he had to put a little trust into someone. Also the idea of going home sounded both good and bad...

"Alright, you have a deal." He sighed. "What's this... thing you have to get?"

[serenastark-official]

Serena smirked, tapping her gauntlet to bring up a holographic blueprint. "Glad to have you on board, Ace of Spades."

A sleek, compact device appeared in the projection, glowing faintly with blue energy. "This little beauty is a Stark Industries prototype—next-gen arc reactor core. Portable, powerful, and definitely not something we want in the hands of whatever psychos stole it."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Howd they steal it?" Ace asked as he walked over fully. He towered over her with his height, but kept enough distance to not seem as threatening. He stared at the holographic image with a nuetural expression, not all that impressed. He shifted his paw pads along the cold ground, ears still perked for sound.

[serenastark-official]

If she had a dollar for every time she dealt with someone towering over her, she’d have two Iron Man suits just for flexing.

"Long story short? Inside job," she muttered, her expression darkening. "Someone got access, slipped it out under our noses, and—surprise, surprise—now it’s here, probably getting prepped for sale to the highest bidder."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Sounds like the usual case." He mused, half to himself, the cold air making his breath come out in small mist puffs. "Hudra possibly?" He cocked and eye.

[serenastark-official]

Serena sighed, rubbing her temple. "I wish—at least then I’d know exactly who I’m about to punch in the face." She exhaled sharply. "Could be Hydra, could be AIM, could be some random rich asshole who thinks playing with stolen Stark tech is a fun hobby."

She checked her HUD again—those heat signatures were getting real close.

"Look, we can play ‘Guess the Villain’ later. Right now, we’ve got about a minute before those guys show up, and I’d rather not be here when they do." She glanced at him. "So unless you want to claw your way through a dozen armed mercs, I suggest we move. Now."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Usually id be fine with it. But it's your mission, I'm the simple boots to your dora." Ace teased lightly, grinning slightly. His ears twitched at evry little sound.

[serenastark-official]

She turned sharply, leading the way down the dimly lit corridor, her steps silent despite the urgency. "Alright, Boots, let’s get sneaky."

Her gauntlet flickered as she pulled up a blueprint of the facility. "Vault’s three levels down. Security’s tight, but I can handle cameras and locks. You just make sure we don’t get our asses ambushed, yeah?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

he gave a short nod of confirmation and followed her, his paw steps making barely any noise on the ground. He peeked over her shoulder to look down at the map, taking it all in. "Alright." He grunted. "I'll keep my eyes and ears out. Anybody comes around, you stay hidden or something. I'm sure they'll know you as a Stark, me, they'll just recognize as a mutant spy. I can handle them."

[serenastark-official]

She shot him a smirk. "I’d rather not have to explain to my dad why I got torn apart or why I suddenly have a seven-foot-tall wolf bestie."

She glanced down the corridor, then back up at him. "And for the record? If they do recognize you as a mutant spy, that’s their mistake." Her smirk returned. "You’re clearly an interdimensional supersoldier wolf assassin."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Supersolider wolf assassin?" It was his turn to smirk. "That, is the best name I've been called and the nicest at the same time." Je teased. He looked down the corridor as well, back to being serious, ears alert. He sniffed; no human scents around so far. "Anything in particular other than a piece of tech im looking for?

[serenastark-official]

Serena chuckled. “Hey, I call it like I see it. You give big ‘unstoppable killing machine’ energy.” She glanced at him, mock serious. “You’re not, like… secretly a Hydra experiment or something, right? ‘Cause I just got done dealing with one of those.”

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Yes and no. They expirimented on me, but they didn't create me." He responded, avoiding eye contact, looking down the hallway. "You can thank another crazy person for creating what you see. Mostly."

[serenastark-official]

“Well,” she said, her voice lighter but not dismissive, “whoever they were, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say they sucked.”

[mutantwolfiekit]

"...At the time yes. But I suppose he's um.. redeemed himself now." Ace spoke, tail twitching uncomfortably "last i know of at least."

[serenastark-official]

“Redemption arcs are messy,” she said, giving a half-shrug. “Trust me, I know a guy who went from ‘Would 100% stab me’ to ‘Would probably stab someone for me.’ Growth, I guess.”

[mutantwolfiekit]

He nodded a bit. "Same with the guy who created me. Threw my brother off a roof once and tried to kill me. Now he would die himself for my family. Not so much for me I think though." His ears perked as he heard a clang sound. "Sh." He whispered quickly, listening for more.

[serenastark-official]

“Two incoming,” she murmured, voice barely above a whisper. “Armed.”

She glanced at Ace, then at their surroundings. “We ghost past ‘em, or we take ‘em out quiet?” she asked

[mutantwolfiekit]

Ace gave no answer before he lunged from the corner, tackling the two guards. One gave a short squeak of surprise but it didn't last long as it was followed by two snaps and the bodies went limp.

Once sure they weren't getting back up, Ace stood up, fur slightly ruffled. "We ghost past them and they might have came back around." He grunted.

[serenastark-official]

Well, damn. Remind me not to get on your bad side.”

She stepped over the bodies, nudging one with her boot to make sure he was definitely out cold. “Efficient. Kinda terrifying. I respect it.”

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Don't. Its... pretty much what I was bred to do." He hummed then stepped aside and flicked his tail down the hall, gesturing or Serean to continue leading the way. When she did start to step, he grabbed the buddies and hauled then behind the corner, out of sight from others.

[serenastark-official]

“Oh, come on,” she gritted out. She tapped her gauntlet, pulling up her hacking tools. “Looks like we’re doing this the hard way,unless you feel like punching the world’s most high-tech door off its hinges?” she teased, already working on bypassing the system.

[mutantwolfiekit]

"If you have a way that won't make mu knuckles bleed, by all means." He hummed as followed, watching her gauntlet.

[serenastark-official]

Serena smirked. "Yeah, no offense, Big Bad, but I don't think even your claws are getting through Stark-grade titanium alloy."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"I'd rather not test that theory so please," he waved his hand dismissively as a 'go ahead sign'.

[serenastark-official]

Serena chuckled. "Noted. I’ll keep the breaking and entering to myself."

The scanner flickered green. She grinned. "And boom. We’re in."

[mutantwolfiekit]

he glanced at her. "...really? That's it?"

“Redemption arcs are messy,” she said, giving a half-shrug. “Trust me, I know a guy who went from ‘Would 100% stab me’ to ‘Would probably stab someone for me.’ Growth, I guess.”

[mutantwolfiekit]

He nodded a bit. "Same with the guy who created me. Threw my brother off a roof once and tried to kill me. Now he would die himself for my family. Not so much for me I think though." His ears perked as he heard a clang sound. "Sh." He whispered quickly, listening for more.

[serenastark-official]

“Two incoming,” she murmured, voice barely above a whisper. “Armed.”

She glanced at Ace, then at their surroundings. “We ghost past ‘em, or we take ‘em out quiet?” she asked

[mutantwolfiekit]

Ace gave no answer before he lunged from the corner, tackling the two guards. One gave a short squeak of surprise but it didn't last long as it was followed by two snaps and the bodies went limp.

Once sure they weren't getting back up, Ace stood up, fur slightly ruffled. "We ghost past them and they might have came back around." He grunted.

[serenastark-official]

Well, damn. Remind me not to get on your bad side.”

She stepped over the bodies, nudging one with her boot to make sure he was definitely out cold. “Efficient. Kinda terrifying. I respect it.”

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Don't. Its... pretty much what I was bred to do." He hummed then stepped aside and flicked his tail down the hall, gesturing or Serean to continue leading the way. When she did start to step, he grabbed the buddies and hauled then behind the corner, out of sight from others.

[serenastark-official]

“Oh, come on,” she gritted out. She tapped her gauntlet, pulling up her hacking tools. “Looks like we’re doing this the hard way,unless you feel like punching the world’s most high-tech door off its hinges?” she teased, already working on bypassing the system.

[mutantwolfiekit]

"If you have a way that won't make mu knuckles bleed, by all means." He hummed as followed, watching her gauntlet.

[serenastark-official]

Serena smirked. "Yeah, no offense, Big Bad, but I don't think even your claws are getting through Stark-grade titanium alloy."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"I'd rather not test that theory so please," he waved his hand dismissively as a 'go ahead sign'.

[serenastark-official]

Location: A high-security underground vault in Zurich. Time: 2:37 AM. Objective: Retrieve a stolen Stark Industries prototype before it falls into the wrong hands.

Snow crunched beneath Serena's boots as she pressed herself against the cold metal wall, her breath coming in quiet puffs of mist. The facility was eerily silent—too silent. Her gut told her this wasn't going to be a simple in-and-out job. Adjusting her gauntlet, she tapped her earpiece.

"C.A.R.L.O.S., tell me something good."

Define good, Miss Stark. If you mean the dozen heat signatures moving toward your position, then I regret to inform you that the news is quite bad.

Serena exhaled sharply. "Screw it. Let’s improvise."

Her HUD flickered as she scanned the room ahead—dim emergency lights cast long, jagged shadows. The prototype had to be close. But so was someone else.

A noise. Footsteps.

Serena raised her repulsor, eyes narrowing. Ally or foe? That was the million-dollar question.

"Alright, whoever’s out there, show yourself. You’ve got three seconds before I start blasting."

[mutantwolfiekit]

Ace's tail twitched against the snow, slightly dragging. God he hated this multiversal BULLSHIT; he just came back from a universe where- well, hell he didn't even want to think about it anymore. And just out of nowhere ZAP, in the middle of godamn nowhere. AGAIN.

His tattered hind paw pads made imprints on the snow; his tail every now and then swiping snow to cover bits. But he wasn't to worried. If anything he'd probably just get zapped again... however there was that lingering feeling that this might be a hydra base...

His ears perked as a voice ran out. Feminine, not one familiar. Imposed threat at the end of the sentence. firm.

As Ace went through the traits in his head he pressed himself gently against rhe cold wall, white fur fluffing up against it. He sniffed; not a recognized scent neither. Ace readied himself for a attack, after all, that's all he's been met with for the past months. "Large threat there." He called back in his gruff voice.

[serenastark-official]

Serena's repulsor stayed trained on the shadowy figure, her stance unwavering. "Large threat?" she echoed, arching a brow. "Buddy, you have no idea."

Her HUD adjusted, scanning the dimly lit corridor ahead. Infrared picked up an outline—quadrupedal, large, fur-covered. Not exactly what she was expecting. Not a merc, not a Hydra agent. But that didn’t mean he wasn’t dangerous.

She took a slow step forward, repulsor still humming with barely restrained energy. "You’ve got about three seconds to explain what you’re doing here before I decide you're part of the problem."

[mutantwolfiekit]

His ears strained as he heard her take a small step. Advancing. He narrowed his eyes, fur blowing softly against the slight wind. He kept hidden. He wasn't going to take any chances, not yet. His tail gave another twitch. "I figure if I tell you, you won't quit believe me. I wouldn't." Last time he tried to explain to someone, he was tested on. So. That was out the window. He had a few options here though: tell a lie, tell the truth, or tell a version of the truth.

The latter seemed more likely to work. But, he'd see how this played out.

[serenastark-official]

Serena exhaled, her breath misting in the cold air. "Oh, great. Cryptic answers. Love that," she muttered, lowering her repulsor just a fraction—but only a fraction.

"Alright, listen, White Fang," she said, still keeping her voice firm. "I don’t care if you’re from here, from space, or from some timeline where dogs run Wall Street. You’re in my way, and I’ve got a stolen prototype to retrieve. Either tell me you’re not going to be a problem, or we find out who’s got the better aim."

Her fingers flexed over the repulsor controls. "Spoiler alert: it's me."

[mutantwolfiekit]

the white fang comment made him freeze. His lips began to form into a growl but he stopped himself and took a breath; no. He was in no condition to fight. It wasn't this... persons fault to know that name may have hit some memories. Instead... he gave a small, faint smile. He needed to try a different approach to things.

"So you know what I look like." He mused, not asking. Clearly she had a device of some sort that could make her be able to see him. He then became serious once again. "I'm not here to cause issues, if you aren't, Dora the Explorer."

[serenastark-official]

Her lips twitched. "Dora the Explorer?" she echoed, mock-offended. "Alright, big guy, first of all, rude. Second, if I were Dora, I’d have a talking backpack and a monkey sidekick. All I’ve got is an AI with an attitude problem and a land shark who eats furniture."

Miss Stark, that is an inaccurate representation of my functionality—

"Yeah, yeah, take it up with my complaints department."

She relaxed her stance, slightly, but didn’t drop her guard entirely."Alright, I'll bite," she continued, lowering her repulsor—but not deactivating it. "If you’re not here to cause problems, then what are you doing in the middle of a high-security underground vault at two in the morning? Taking a scenic stroll?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

He chuckled softly, relaxing faintly. Ain't assistant? She reminded him of Stark. Might be a alternative version of him. He gave a small hum. So that's where I am.. He thought.

"Why yes, I just love the feeling of my tail freezing." He responded sarcastically. He then took a breath and a chance. He turned the corner, revealing his form. A tall, Scarred everywhere anthro wolf. He hoped this wouldn't get him shot; he was still recovering from everything else. "What are you doing in this high tech place, as you say it is?" He took in her appearance.

[serenastark-official]

"Okay, damn. Someone’s had a day," she muttered, scanning the scars crisscrossing his furred frame. Her repulsor lowered fully now, though her stance stayed guarded.

At his question, she smirked. "Oh, y’know, the usual—breaking into places, stealing back things that belong to my company, generally being a pain in the ass to bad guys. Typical Tuesday night." She gave him a once-over. "And something tells me you aren’t the ones I need to worry about."

Her fingers tapped a command on her gauntlet, pulling up a secondary scan. "So, mystery wolf—got a name? Or am I sticking with White Fang?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

he smirked slightly at her sarcasm in return. He relaxed a bit more, thankful she was no longer a threat. At the moment at least. He watched her gadgets. "I assure you I'm not. To be frank, i.. don't know where I even am. Well, bits and pieces I know of course." His ears twitched at faint sounds.

"Ace would be preferred. I know i look like the living recreation of White fang but... Rather not be reminded of that you could say." He grunted then his eyes landed back on her. "And you are? Tony stark, but female?" He teased slightly. He was trying to gauge if she knew who that was, to see if he was in one THOSE universes.

[serenastark-official]

Serena grinned. "Ace, huh? Alright, noted." She tapped a quick command into her gauntlet, silently filing that away. At his next comment, though, she actually barked out a laugh.

"Pfft—female Tony Stark? Yeah, pretty much." She gave a dramatic hair flip. "The better version, obviously. Smarter, funnier, and way better at accessorizing. I'm his daughter."

Her smirk softened just a bit. "Serena Stark." She watched his expression closely, looking for any flicker of recognition. If he was testing whether he was in one of those universes, she was definitely testing him right back.

"And you’re telling me you just poofed here, no clue how?" she pressed. "Because that sounds like a whole multiversal headache—and I really don’t need another one of those."

[mutantwolfiekit]

his daughter. His eyes widened slightly with surprise; he wasn't aware Tony had a daughter. Interesting. "Serena... nice name." He complimented. "Well-" he sighed and ran a paw through the back of his neck. "It's a complicated situation that I believe we don't have time to take a deep dive into. But yes. It's a multiversal headache. Even for Mr. Strange."

[serenastark-official]

Shall I notify Doctor Strange that you require his assistance?

"Absolutely not. Last thing I need is him monologuing about cosmic balance while I’m in the middle of a heist," she huffed, then shot Ace a knowing look. "Trust me, you don’t wanna deal with him unless you have to."

Serena smirked at Ace. "Good news, if you stick around long enough, I might be able to get you a ticket home. Bad news? We’ve still got a stolen prototype to recover, and I really don’t feel like getting shot at alone. You in?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

the Anthro wolf weighed his options: on one side, she could be tricking him. She could secretly be part of hydra. However her scent wasn't blood and corpses so.. unlikely. Another possible outcome was-

Ace shook his head. God he really needed to stop doing this. Sometimes he had to put a little trust into someone. Also the idea of going home sounded both good and bad...

"Alright, you have a deal." He sighed. "What's this... thing you have to get?"

[serenastark-official]

Serena smirked, tapping her gauntlet to bring up a holographic blueprint. "Glad to have you on board, Ace of Spades."

A sleek, compact device appeared in the projection, glowing faintly with blue energy. "This little beauty is a Stark Industries prototype—next-gen arc reactor core. Portable, powerful, and definitely not something we want in the hands of whatever psychos stole it."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Howd they steal it?" Ace asked as he walked over fully. He towered over her with his height, but kept enough distance to not seem as threatening. He stared at the holographic image with a nuetural expression, not all that impressed. He shifted his paw pads along the cold ground, ears still perked for sound.

[serenastark-official]

If she had a dollar for every time she dealt with someone towering over her, she’d have two Iron Man suits just for flexing.

"Long story short? Inside job," she muttered, her expression darkening. "Someone got access, slipped it out under our noses, and—surprise, surprise—now it’s here, probably getting prepped for sale to the highest bidder."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Sounds like the usual case." He mused, half to himself, the cold air making his breath come out in small mist puffs. "Hudra possibly?" He cocked and eye.

[serenastark-official]

Serena sighed, rubbing her temple. "I wish—at least then I’d know exactly who I’m about to punch in the face." She exhaled sharply. "Could be Hydra, could be AIM, could be some random rich asshole who thinks playing with stolen Stark tech is a fun hobby."

She checked her HUD again—those heat signatures were getting real close.

"Look, we can play ‘Guess the Villain’ later. Right now, we’ve got about a minute before those guys show up, and I’d rather not be here when they do." She glanced at him. "So unless you want to claw your way through a dozen armed mercs, I suggest we move. Now."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Usually id be fine with it. But it's your mission, I'm the simple boots to your dora." Ace teased lightly, grinning slightly. His ears twitched at evry little sound.

[serenastark-official]

She turned sharply, leading the way down the dimly lit corridor, her steps silent despite the urgency. "Alright, Boots, let’s get sneaky."

Her gauntlet flickered as she pulled up a blueprint of the facility. "Vault’s three levels down. Security’s tight, but I can handle cameras and locks. You just make sure we don’t get our asses ambushed, yeah?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

he gave a short nod of confirmation and followed her, his paw steps making barely any noise on the ground. He peeked over her shoulder to look down at the map, taking it all in. "Alright." He grunted. "I'll keep my eyes and ears out. Anybody comes around, you stay hidden or something. I'm sure they'll know you as a Stark, me, they'll just recognize as a mutant spy. I can handle them."

[serenastark-official]

She shot him a smirk. "I’d rather not have to explain to my dad why I got torn apart or why I suddenly have a seven-foot-tall wolf bestie."

She glanced down the corridor, then back up at him. "And for the record? If they do recognize you as a mutant spy, that’s their mistake." Her smirk returned. "You’re clearly an interdimensional supersoldier wolf assassin."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Supersolider wolf assassin?" It was his turn to smirk. "That, is the best name I've been called and the nicest at the same time." Je teased. He looked down the corridor as well, back to being serious, ears alert. He sniffed; no human scents around so far. "Anything in particular other than a piece of tech im looking for?

[serenastark-official]

Serena chuckled. “Hey, I call it like I see it. You give big ‘unstoppable killing machine’ energy.” She glanced at him, mock serious. “You’re not, like… secretly a Hydra experiment or something, right? ‘Cause I just got done dealing with one of those.”

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Yes and no. They expirimented on me, but they didn't create me." He responded, avoiding eye contact, looking down the hallway. "You can thank another crazy person for creating what you see. Mostly."

[serenastark-official]

“Well,” she said, her voice lighter but not dismissive, “whoever they were, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say they sucked.”

[mutantwolfiekit]

"...At the time yes. But I suppose he's um.. redeemed himself now." Ace spoke, tail twitching uncomfortably "last i know of at least."

[serenastark-official]

“Redemption arcs are messy,” she said, giving a half-shrug. “Trust me, I know a guy who went from ‘Would 100% stab me’ to ‘Would probably stab someone for me.’ Growth, I guess.”

“Redemption arcs are messy,” she said, giving a half-shrug. “Trust me, I know a guy who went from ‘Would 100% stab me’ to ‘Would probably stab someone for me.’ Growth, I guess.”

[mutantwolfiekit]

He nodded a bit. "Same with the guy who created me. Threw my brother off a roof once and tried to kill me. Now he would die himself for my family. Not so much for me I think though." His ears perked as he heard a clang sound. "Sh." He whispered quickly, listening for more.

[serenastark-official]

“Two incoming,” she murmured, voice barely above a whisper. “Armed.”

She glanced at Ace, then at their surroundings. “We ghost past ‘em, or we take ‘em out quiet?” she asked

[mutantwolfiekit]

Ace gave no answer before he lunged from the corner, tackling the two guards. One gave a short squeak of surprise but it didn't last long as it was followed by two snaps and the bodies went limp.

Once sure they weren't getting back up, Ace stood up, fur slightly ruffled. "We ghost past them and they might have came back around." He grunted.

[serenastark-official]

Well, damn. Remind me not to get on your bad side.”

She stepped over the bodies, nudging one with her boot to make sure he was definitely out cold. “Efficient. Kinda terrifying. I respect it.”

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Don't. Its... pretty much what I was bred to do." He hummed then stepped aside and flicked his tail down the hall, gesturing or Serean to continue leading the way. When she did start to step, he grabbed the buddies and hauled then behind the corner, out of sight from others.

Location: A high-security underground vault in Zurich. Time: 2:37 AM. Objective: Retrieve a stolen Stark Industries prototype before it falls into the wrong hands.

Snow crunched beneath Serena's boots as she pressed herself against the cold metal wall, her breath coming in quiet puffs of mist. The facility was eerily silent—too silent. Her gut told her this wasn't going to be a simple in-and-out job. Adjusting her gauntlet, she tapped her earpiece.

"C.A.R.L.O.S., tell me something good."

Define good, Miss Stark. If you mean the dozen heat signatures moving toward your position, then I regret to inform you that the news is quite bad.

Serena exhaled sharply. "Screw it. Let’s improvise."

Her HUD flickered as she scanned the room ahead—dim emergency lights cast long, jagged shadows. The prototype had to be close. But so was someone else.

A noise. Footsteps.

Serena raised her repulsor, eyes narrowing. Ally or foe? That was the million-dollar question.

"Alright, whoever’s out there, show yourself. You’ve got three seconds before I start blasting."

[mutantwolfiekit]

Ace's tail twitched against the snow, slightly dragging. God he hated this multiversal BULLSHIT; he just came back from a universe where- well, hell he didn't even want to think about it anymore. And just out of nowhere ZAP, in the middle of godamn nowhere. AGAIN.

His tattered hind paw pads made imprints on the snow; his tail every now and then swiping snow to cover bits. But he wasn't to worried. If anything he'd probably just get zapped again... however there was that lingering feeling that this might be a hydra base...

His ears perked as a voice ran out. Feminine, not one familiar. Imposed threat at the end of the sentence. firm.

As Ace went through the traits in his head he pressed himself gently against rhe cold wall, white fur fluffing up against it. He sniffed; not a recognized scent neither. Ace readied himself for a attack, after all, that's all he's been met with for the past months. "Large threat there." He called back in his gruff voice.

[serenastark-official]

Serena's repulsor stayed trained on the shadowy figure, her stance unwavering. "Large threat?" she echoed, arching a brow. "Buddy, you have no idea."

Her HUD adjusted, scanning the dimly lit corridor ahead. Infrared picked up an outline—quadrupedal, large, fur-covered. Not exactly what she was expecting. Not a merc, not a Hydra agent. But that didn’t mean he wasn’t dangerous.

She took a slow step forward, repulsor still humming with barely restrained energy. "You’ve got about three seconds to explain what you’re doing here before I decide you're part of the problem."

[mutantwolfiekit]

His ears strained as he heard her take a small step. Advancing. He narrowed his eyes, fur blowing softly against the slight wind. He kept hidden. He wasn't going to take any chances, not yet. His tail gave another twitch. "I figure if I tell you, you won't quit believe me. I wouldn't." Last time he tried to explain to someone, he was tested on. So. That was out the window. He had a few options here though: tell a lie, tell the truth, or tell a version of the truth.

The latter seemed more likely to work. But, he'd see how this played out.

[serenastark-official]

Serena exhaled, her breath misting in the cold air. "Oh, great. Cryptic answers. Love that," she muttered, lowering her repulsor just a fraction—but only a fraction.

"Alright, listen, White Fang," she said, still keeping her voice firm. "I don’t care if you’re from here, from space, or from some timeline where dogs run Wall Street. You’re in my way, and I’ve got a stolen prototype to retrieve. Either tell me you’re not going to be a problem, or we find out who’s got the better aim."

Her fingers flexed over the repulsor controls. "Spoiler alert: it's me."

[mutantwolfiekit]

the white fang comment made him freeze. His lips began to form into a growl but he stopped himself and took a breath; no. He was in no condition to fight. It wasn't this... persons fault to know that name may have hit some memories. Instead... he gave a small, faint smile. He needed to try a different approach to things.

"So you know what I look like." He mused, not asking. Clearly she had a device of some sort that could make her be able to see him. He then became serious once again. "I'm not here to cause issues, if you aren't, Dora the Explorer."

[serenastark-official]

Her lips twitched. "Dora the Explorer?" she echoed, mock-offended. "Alright, big guy, first of all, rude. Second, if I were Dora, I’d have a talking backpack and a monkey sidekick. All I’ve got is an AI with an attitude problem and a land shark who eats furniture."

Miss Stark, that is an inaccurate representation of my functionality—

"Yeah, yeah, take it up with my complaints department."

She relaxed her stance, slightly, but didn’t drop her guard entirely."Alright, I'll bite," she continued, lowering her repulsor—but not deactivating it. "If you’re not here to cause problems, then what are you doing in the middle of a high-security underground vault at two in the morning? Taking a scenic stroll?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

He chuckled softly, relaxing faintly. Ain't assistant? She reminded him of Stark. Might be a alternative version of him. He gave a small hum. So that's where I am.. He thought.

"Why yes, I just love the feeling of my tail freezing." He responded sarcastically. He then took a breath and a chance. He turned the corner, revealing his form. A tall, Scarred everywhere anthro wolf. He hoped this wouldn't get him shot; he was still recovering from everything else. "What are you doing in this high tech place, as you say it is?" He took in her appearance.

[serenastark-official]

"Okay, damn. Someone’s had a day," she muttered, scanning the scars crisscrossing his furred frame. Her repulsor lowered fully now, though her stance stayed guarded.

At his question, she smirked. "Oh, y’know, the usual—breaking into places, stealing back things that belong to my company, generally being a pain in the ass to bad guys. Typical Tuesday night." She gave him a once-over. "And something tells me you aren’t the ones I need to worry about."

Her fingers tapped a command on her gauntlet, pulling up a secondary scan. "So, mystery wolf—got a name? Or am I sticking with White Fang?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

he smirked slightly at her sarcasm in return. He relaxed a bit more, thankful she was no longer a threat. At the moment at least. He watched her gadgets. "I assure you I'm not. To be frank, i.. don't know where I even am. Well, bits and pieces I know of course." His ears twitched at faint sounds.

"Ace would be preferred. I know i look like the living recreation of White fang but... Rather not be reminded of that you could say." He grunted then his eyes landed back on her. "And you are? Tony stark, but female?" He teased slightly. He was trying to gauge if she knew who that was, to see if he was in one THOSE universes.

[serenastark-official]

Serena grinned. "Ace, huh? Alright, noted." She tapped a quick command into her gauntlet, silently filing that away. At his next comment, though, she actually barked out a laugh.

"Pfft—female Tony Stark? Yeah, pretty much." She gave a dramatic hair flip. "The better version, obviously. Smarter, funnier, and way better at accessorizing. I'm his daughter."

Her smirk softened just a bit. "Serena Stark." She watched his expression closely, looking for any flicker of recognition. If he was testing whether he was in one of those universes, she was definitely testing him right back.

"And you’re telling me you just poofed here, no clue how?" she pressed. "Because that sounds like a whole multiversal headache—and I really don’t need another one of those."

[mutantwolfiekit]

his daughter. His eyes widened slightly with surprise; he wasn't aware Tony had a daughter. Interesting. "Serena... nice name." He complimented. "Well-" he sighed and ran a paw through the back of his neck. "It's a complicated situation that I believe we don't have time to take a deep dive into. But yes. It's a multiversal headache. Even for Mr. Strange."

[serenastark-official]

Shall I notify Doctor Strange that you require his assistance?

"Absolutely not. Last thing I need is him monologuing about cosmic balance while I’m in the middle of a heist," she huffed, then shot Ace a knowing look. "Trust me, you don’t wanna deal with him unless you have to."

Serena smirked at Ace. "Good news, if you stick around long enough, I might be able to get you a ticket home. Bad news? We’ve still got a stolen prototype to recover, and I really don’t feel like getting shot at alone. You in?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

the Anthro wolf weighed his options: on one side, she could be tricking him. She could secretly be part of hydra. However her scent wasn't blood and corpses so.. unlikely. Another possible outcome was-

Ace shook his head. God he really needed to stop doing this. Sometimes he had to put a little trust into someone. Also the idea of going home sounded both good and bad...

"Alright, you have a deal." He sighed. "What's this... thing you have to get?"

[serenastark-official]

Serena smirked, tapping her gauntlet to bring up a holographic blueprint. "Glad to have you on board, Ace of Spades."

A sleek, compact device appeared in the projection, glowing faintly with blue energy. "This little beauty is a Stark Industries prototype—next-gen arc reactor core. Portable, powerful, and definitely not something we want in the hands of whatever psychos stole it."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Howd they steal it?" Ace asked as he walked over fully. He towered over her with his height, but kept enough distance to not seem as threatening. He stared at the holographic image with a nuetural expression, not all that impressed. He shifted his paw pads along the cold ground, ears still perked for sound.

[serenastark-official]

If she had a dollar for every time she dealt with someone towering over her, she’d have two Iron Man suits just for flexing.

"Long story short? Inside job," she muttered, her expression darkening. "Someone got access, slipped it out under our noses, and—surprise, surprise—now it’s here, probably getting prepped for sale to the highest bidder."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Sounds like the usual case." He mused, half to himself, the cold air making his breath come out in small mist puffs. "Hudra possibly?" He cocked and eye.

[serenastark-official]

Serena sighed, rubbing her temple. "I wish—at least then I’d know exactly who I’m about to punch in the face." She exhaled sharply. "Could be Hydra, could be AIM, could be some random rich asshole who thinks playing with stolen Stark tech is a fun hobby."

She checked her HUD again—those heat signatures were getting real close.

"Look, we can play ‘Guess the Villain’ later. Right now, we’ve got about a minute before those guys show up, and I’d rather not be here when they do." She glanced at him. "So unless you want to claw your way through a dozen armed mercs, I suggest we move. Now."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Usually id be fine with it. But it's your mission, I'm the simple boots to your dora." Ace teased lightly, grinning slightly. His ears twitched at evry little sound.

[serenastark-official]

She turned sharply, leading the way down the dimly lit corridor, her steps silent despite the urgency. "Alright, Boots, let’s get sneaky."

Her gauntlet flickered as she pulled up a blueprint of the facility. "Vault’s three levels down. Security’s tight, but I can handle cameras and locks. You just make sure we don’t get our asses ambushed, yeah?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

he gave a short nod of confirmation and followed her, his paw steps making barely any noise on the ground. He peeked over her shoulder to look down at the map, taking it all in. "Alright." He grunted. "I'll keep my eyes and ears out. Anybody comes around, you stay hidden or something. I'm sure they'll know you as a Stark, me, they'll just recognize as a mutant spy. I can handle them."

[serenastark-official]

She shot him a smirk. "I’d rather not have to explain to my dad why I got torn apart or why I suddenly have a seven-foot-tall wolf bestie."

She glanced down the corridor, then back up at him. "And for the record? If they do recognize you as a mutant spy, that’s their mistake." Her smirk returned. "You’re clearly an interdimensional supersoldier wolf assassin."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Supersolider wolf assassin?" It was his turn to smirk. "That, is the best name I've been called and the nicest at the same time." Je teased. He looked down the corridor as well, back to being serious, ears alert. He sniffed; no human scents around so far. "Anything in particular other than a piece of tech im looking for?

[serenastark-official]

Serena chuckled. “Hey, I call it like I see it. You give big ‘unstoppable killing machine’ energy.” She glanced at him, mock serious. “You’re not, like… secretly a Hydra experiment or something, right? ‘Cause I just got done dealing with one of those.”

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Yes and no. They expirimented on me, but they didn't create me." He responded, avoiding eye contact, looking down the hallway. "You can thank another crazy person for creating what you see. Mostly."

[serenastark-official]

“Well,” she said, her voice lighter but not dismissive, “whoever they were, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say they sucked.”

[mutantwolfiekit]

"...At the time yes. But I suppose he's um.. redeemed himself now." Ace spoke, tail twitching uncomfortably "last i know of at least."

[serenastark-official]

“Redemption arcs are messy,” she said, giving a half-shrug. “Trust me, I know a guy who went from ‘Would 100% stab me’ to ‘Would probably stab someone for me.’ Growth, I guess.”

"Alright, whoever’s out there, show yourself. You’ve got three seconds before I start blasting."

[mutantwolfiekit]

Ace's tail twitched against the snow, slightly dragging. God he hated this multiversal BULLSHIT; he just came back from a universe where- well, hell he didn't even want to think about it anymore. And just out of nowhere ZAP, in the middle of godamn nowhere. AGAIN.

His tattered hind paw pads made imprints on the snow; his tail every now and then swiping snow to cover bits. But he wasn't to worried. If anything he'd probably just get zapped again... however there was that lingering feeling that this might be a hydra base...

His ears perked as a voice ran out. Feminine, not one familiar. Imposed threat at the end of the sentence. firm.

As Ace went through the traits in his head he pressed himself gently against rhe cold wall, white fur fluffing up against it. He sniffed; not a recognized scent neither. Ace readied himself for a attack, after all, that's all he's been met with for the past months. "Large threat there." He called back in his gruff voice.

[serenastark-official]

Serena's repulsor stayed trained on the shadowy figure, her stance unwavering. "Large threat?" she echoed, arching a brow. "Buddy, you have no idea."

Her HUD adjusted, scanning the dimly lit corridor ahead. Infrared picked up an outline—quadrupedal, large, fur-covered. Not exactly what she was expecting. Not a merc, not a Hydra agent. But that didn’t mean he wasn’t dangerous.

She took a slow step forward, repulsor still humming with barely restrained energy. "You’ve got about three seconds to explain what you’re doing here before I decide you're part of the problem."

[mutantwolfiekit]

His ears strained as he heard her take a small step. Advancing. He narrowed his eyes, fur blowing softly against the slight wind. He kept hidden. He wasn't going to take any chances, not yet. His tail gave another twitch. "I figure if I tell you, you won't quit believe me. I wouldn't." Last time he tried to explain to someone, he was tested on. So. That was out the window. He had a few options here though: tell a lie, tell the truth, or tell a version of the truth.

The latter seemed more likely to work. But, he'd see how this played out.

[serenastark-official]

Serena exhaled, her breath misting in the cold air. "Oh, great. Cryptic answers. Love that," she muttered, lowering her repulsor just a fraction—but only a fraction.

"Alright, listen, White Fang," she said, still keeping her voice firm. "I don’t care if you’re from here, from space, or from some timeline where dogs run Wall Street. You’re in my way, and I’ve got a stolen prototype to retrieve. Either tell me you’re not going to be a problem, or we find out who’s got the better aim."

Her fingers flexed over the repulsor controls. "Spoiler alert: it's me."

[mutantwolfiekit]

the white fang comment made him freeze. His lips began to form into a growl but he stopped himself and took a breath; no. He was in no condition to fight. It wasn't this... persons fault to know that name may have hit some memories. Instead... he gave a small, faint smile. He needed to try a different approach to things.

"So you know what I look like." He mused, not asking. Clearly she had a device of some sort that could make her be able to see him. He then became serious once again. "I'm not here to cause issues, if you aren't, Dora the Explorer."

[serenastark-official]

Her lips twitched. "Dora the Explorer?" she echoed, mock-offended. "Alright, big guy, first of all, rude. Second, if I were Dora, I’d have a talking backpack and a monkey sidekick. All I’ve got is an AI with an attitude problem and a land shark who eats furniture."

Miss Stark, that is an inaccurate representation of my functionality—

"Yeah, yeah, take it up with my complaints department."

She relaxed her stance, slightly, but didn’t drop her guard entirely."Alright, I'll bite," she continued, lowering her repulsor—but not deactivating it. "If you’re not here to cause problems, then what are you doing in the middle of a high-security underground vault at two in the morning? Taking a scenic stroll?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

He chuckled softly, relaxing faintly. Ain't assistant? She reminded him of Stark. Might be a alternative version of him. He gave a small hum. So that's where I am.. He thought.

"Why yes, I just love the feeling of my tail freezing." He responded sarcastically. He then took a breath and a chance. He turned the corner, revealing his form. A tall, Scarred everywhere anthro wolf. He hoped this wouldn't get him shot; he was still recovering from everything else. "What are you doing in this high tech place, as you say it is?" He took in her appearance.

[serenastark-official]

"Okay, damn. Someone’s had a day," she muttered, scanning the scars crisscrossing his furred frame. Her repulsor lowered fully now, though her stance stayed guarded.

At his question, she smirked. "Oh, y’know, the usual—breaking into places, stealing back things that belong to my company, generally being a pain in the ass to bad guys. Typical Tuesday night." She gave him a once-over. "And something tells me you aren’t the ones I need to worry about."

Her fingers tapped a command on her gauntlet, pulling up a secondary scan. "So, mystery wolf—got a name? Or am I sticking with White Fang?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

he smirked slightly at her sarcasm in return. He relaxed a bit more, thankful she was no longer a threat. At the moment at least. He watched her gadgets. "I assure you I'm not. To be frank, i.. don't know where I even am. Well, bits and pieces I know of course." His ears twitched at faint sounds.

"Ace would be preferred. I know i look like the living recreation of White fang but... Rather not be reminded of that you could say." He grunted then his eyes landed back on her. "And you are? Tony stark, but female?" He teased slightly. He was trying to gauge if she knew who that was, to see if he was in one THOSE universes.

[serenastark-official]

Serena grinned. "Ace, huh? Alright, noted." She tapped a quick command into her gauntlet, silently filing that away. At his next comment, though, she actually barked out a laugh.

"Pfft—female Tony Stark? Yeah, pretty much." She gave a dramatic hair flip. "The better version, obviously. Smarter, funnier, and way better at accessorizing. I'm his daughter."

Her smirk softened just a bit. "Serena Stark." She watched his expression closely, looking for any flicker of recognition. If he was testing whether he was in one of those universes, she was definitely testing him right back.

"And you’re telling me you just poofed here, no clue how?" she pressed. "Because that sounds like a whole multiversal headache—and I really don’t need another one of those."

[mutantwolfiekit]

his daughter. His eyes widened slightly with surprise; he wasn't aware Tony had a daughter. Interesting. "Serena... nice name." He complimented. "Well-" he sighed and ran a paw through the back of his neck. "It's a complicated situation that I believe we don't have time to take a deep dive into. But yes. It's a multiversal headache. Even for Mr. Strange."

[serenastark-official]

Shall I notify Doctor Strange that you require his assistance?

"Absolutely not. Last thing I need is him monologuing about cosmic balance while I’m in the middle of a heist," she huffed, then shot Ace a knowing look. "Trust me, you don’t wanna deal with him unless you have to."

Serena smirked at Ace. "Good news, if you stick around long enough, I might be able to get you a ticket home. Bad news? We’ve still got a stolen prototype to recover, and I really don’t feel like getting shot at alone. You in?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

the Anthro wolf weighed his options: on one side, she could be tricking him. She could secretly be part of hydra. However her scent wasn't blood and corpses so.. unlikely. Another possible outcome was-

Ace shook his head. God he really needed to stop doing this. Sometimes he had to put a little trust into someone. Also the idea of going home sounded both good and bad...

"Alright, you have a deal." He sighed. "What's this... thing you have to get?"

[serenastark-official]

Serena smirked, tapping her gauntlet to bring up a holographic blueprint. "Glad to have you on board, Ace of Spades."

A sleek, compact device appeared in the projection, glowing faintly with blue energy. "This little beauty is a Stark Industries prototype—next-gen arc reactor core. Portable, powerful, and definitely not something we want in the hands of whatever psychos stole it."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Howd they steal it?" Ace asked as he walked over fully. He towered over her with his height, but kept enough distance to not seem as threatening. He stared at the holographic image with a nuetural expression, not all that impressed. He shifted his paw pads along the cold ground, ears still perked for sound.

[serenastark-official]

If she had a dollar for every time she dealt with someone towering over her, she’d have two Iron Man suits just for flexing.

"Long story short? Inside job," she muttered, her expression darkening. "Someone got access, slipped it out under our noses, and—surprise, surprise—now it’s here, probably getting prepped for sale to the highest bidder."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Sounds like the usual case." He mused, half to himself, the cold air making his breath come out in small mist puffs. "Hudra possibly?" He cocked and eye.

[serenastark-official]

Serena sighed, rubbing her temple. "I wish—at least then I’d know exactly who I’m about to punch in the face." She exhaled sharply. "Could be Hydra, could be AIM, could be some random rich asshole who thinks playing with stolen Stark tech is a fun hobby."

She checked her HUD again—those heat signatures were getting real close.

"Look, we can play ‘Guess the Villain’ later. Right now, we’ve got about a minute before those guys show up, and I’d rather not be here when they do." She glanced at him. "So unless you want to claw your way through a dozen armed mercs, I suggest we move. Now."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Usually id be fine with it. But it's your mission, I'm the simple boots to your dora." Ace teased lightly, grinning slightly. His ears twitched at evry little sound.

[serenastark-official]

She turned sharply, leading the way down the dimly lit corridor, her steps silent despite the urgency. "Alright, Boots, let’s get sneaky."

Her gauntlet flickered as she pulled up a blueprint of the facility. "Vault’s three levels down. Security’s tight, but I can handle cameras and locks. You just make sure we don’t get our asses ambushed, yeah?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

he gave a short nod of confirmation and followed her, his paw steps making barely any noise on the ground. He peeked over her shoulder to look down at the map, taking it all in. "Alright." He grunted. "I'll keep my eyes and ears out. Anybody comes around, you stay hidden or something. I'm sure they'll know you as a Stark, me, they'll just recognize as a mutant spy. I can handle them."

[serenastark-official]

She shot him a smirk. "I’d rather not have to explain to my dad why I got torn apart or why I suddenly have a seven-foot-tall wolf bestie."

She glanced down the corridor, then back up at him. "And for the record? If they do recognize you as a mutant spy, that’s their mistake." Her smirk returned. "You’re clearly an interdimensional supersoldier wolf assassin."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Supersolider wolf assassin?" It was his turn to smirk. "That, is the best name I've been called and the nicest at the same time." Je teased. He looked down the corridor as well, back to being serious, ears alert. He sniffed; no human scents around so far. "Anything in particular other than a piece of tech im looking for?

[serenastark-official]

Serena chuckled. “Hey, I call it like I see it. You give big ‘unstoppable killing machine’ energy.” She glanced at him, mock serious. “You’re not, like… secretly a Hydra experiment or something, right? ‘Cause I just got done dealing with one of those.”

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Yes and no. They expirimented on me, but they didn't create me." He responded, avoiding eye contact, looking down the hallway. "You can thank another crazy person for creating what you see. Mostly."

[serenastark-official]

“Well,” she said, her voice lighter but not dismissive, “whoever they were, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say they sucked.”

[mutantwolfiekit]

"...At the time yes. But I suppose he's um.. redeemed himself now." Ace spoke, tail twitching uncomfortably "last i know of at least."

[serenastark-official]

Location: A high-security underground vault in Zurich. Time: 2:37 AM. Objective: Retrieve a stolen Stark Industries prototype before it falls into the wrong hands.

Snow crunched beneath Serena's boots as she pressed herself against the cold metal wall, her breath coming in quiet puffs of mist. The facility was eerily silent—too silent. Her gut told her this wasn't going to be a simple in-and-out job. Adjusting her gauntlet, she tapped her earpiece.

"C.A.R.L.O.S., tell me something good."

Define good, Miss Stark. If you mean the dozen heat signatures moving toward your position, then I regret to inform you that the news is quite bad.

Serena exhaled sharply. "Screw it. Let’s improvise."

Her HUD flickered as she scanned the room ahead—dim emergency lights cast long, jagged shadows. The prototype had to be close. But so was someone else.

A noise. Footsteps.

Serena raised her repulsor, eyes narrowing. Ally or foe? That was the million-dollar question.

"Alright, whoever’s out there, show yourself. You’ve got three seconds before I start blasting."

At his question, she smirked. "Oh, y’know, the usual—breaking into places, stealing back things that belong to my company, generally being a pain in the ass to bad guys. Typical Tuesday night." She gave him a once-over. "And something tells me you aren’t the ones I need to worry about."

Her fingers tapped a command on her gauntlet, pulling up a secondary scan. "So, mystery wolf—got a name? Or am I sticking with White Fang?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

he smirked slightly at her sarcasm in return. He relaxed a bit more, thankful she was no longer a threat. At the moment at least. He watched her gadgets. "I assure you I'm not. To be frank, i.. don't know where I even am. Well, bits and pieces I know of course." His ears twitched at faint sounds.

"Ace would be preferred. I know i look like the living recreation of White fang but... Rather not be reminded of that you could say." He grunted then his eyes landed back on her. "And you are? Tony stark, but female?" He teased slightly. He was trying to gauge if she knew who that was, to see if he was in one THOSE universes.

[serenastark-official]

Serena grinned. "Ace, huh? Alright, noted." She tapped a quick command into her gauntlet, silently filing that away. At his next comment, though, she actually barked out a laugh.

"Pfft—female Tony Stark? Yeah, pretty much." She gave a dramatic hair flip. "The better version, obviously. Smarter, funnier, and way better at accessorizing. I'm his daughter."

Her smirk softened just a bit. "Serena Stark." She watched his expression closely, looking for any flicker of recognition. If he was testing whether he was in one of those universes, she was definitely testing him right back.

"And you’re telling me you just poofed here, no clue how?" she pressed. "Because that sounds like a whole multiversal headache—and I really don’t need another one of those."

[mutantwolfiekit]

his daughter. His eyes widened slightly with surprise; he wasn't aware Tony had a daughter. Interesting. "Serena... nice name." He complimented. "Well-" he sighed and ran a paw through the back of his neck. "It's a complicated situation that I believe we don't have time to take a deep dive into. But yes. It's a multiversal headache. Even for Mr. Strange."

[serenastark-official]

Shall I notify Doctor Strange that you require his assistance?

"Absolutely not. Last thing I need is him monologuing about cosmic balance while I’m in the middle of a heist," she huffed, then shot Ace a knowing look. "Trust me, you don’t wanna deal with him unless you have to."

Serena smirked at Ace. "Good news, if you stick around long enough, I might be able to get you a ticket home. Bad news? We’ve still got a stolen prototype to recover, and I really don’t feel like getting shot at alone. You in?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

the Anthro wolf weighed his options: on one side, she could be tricking him. She could secretly be part of hydra. However her scent wasn't blood and corpses so.. unlikely. Another possible outcome was-

Ace shook his head. God he really needed to stop doing this. Sometimes he had to put a little trust into someone. Also the idea of going home sounded both good and bad...

"Alright, you have a deal." He sighed. "What's this... thing you have to get?"

[serenastark-official]

Serena smirked, tapping her gauntlet to bring up a holographic blueprint. "Glad to have you on board, Ace of Spades."

A sleek, compact device appeared in the projection, glowing faintly with blue energy. "This little beauty is a Stark Industries prototype—next-gen arc reactor core. Portable, powerful, and definitely not something we want in the hands of whatever psychos stole it."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Howd they steal it?" Ace asked as he walked over fully. He towered over her with his height, but kept enough distance to not seem as threatening. He stared at the holographic image with a nuetural expression, not all that impressed. He shifted his paw pads along the cold ground, ears still perked for sound.

[serenastark-official]

If she had a dollar for every time she dealt with someone towering over her, she’d have two Iron Man suits just for flexing.

"Long story short? Inside job," she muttered, her expression darkening. "Someone got access, slipped it out under our noses, and—surprise, surprise—now it’s here, probably getting prepped for sale to the highest bidder."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Sounds like the usual case." He mused, half to himself, the cold air making his breath come out in small mist puffs. "Hudra possibly?" He cocked and eye.

[serenastark-official]

Serena sighed, rubbing her temple. "I wish—at least then I’d know exactly who I’m about to punch in the face." She exhaled sharply. "Could be Hydra, could be AIM, could be some random rich asshole who thinks playing with stolen Stark tech is a fun hobby."

She checked her HUD again—those heat signatures were getting real close.

"Look, we can play ‘Guess the Villain’ later. Right now, we’ve got about a minute before those guys show up, and I’d rather not be here when they do." She glanced at him. "So unless you want to claw your way through a dozen armed mercs, I suggest we move. Now."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Usually id be fine with it. But it's your mission, I'm the simple boots to your dora." Ace teased lightly, grinning slightly. His ears twitched at evry little sound.

[serenastark-official]

She turned sharply, leading the way down the dimly lit corridor, her steps silent despite the urgency. "Alright, Boots, let’s get sneaky."

Her gauntlet flickered as she pulled up a blueprint of the facility. "Vault’s three levels down. Security’s tight, but I can handle cameras and locks. You just make sure we don’t get our asses ambushed, yeah?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

he gave a short nod of confirmation and followed her, his paw steps making barely any noise on the ground. He peeked over her shoulder to look down at the map, taking it all in. "Alright." He grunted. "I'll keep my eyes and ears out. Anybody comes around, you stay hidden or something. I'm sure they'll know you as a Stark, me, they'll just recognize as a mutant spy. I can handle them."

[serenastark-official]

She shot him a smirk. "I’d rather not have to explain to my dad why I got torn apart or why I suddenly have a seven-foot-tall wolf bestie."

She glanced down the corridor, then back up at him. "And for the record? If they do recognize you as a mutant spy, that’s their mistake." Her smirk returned. "You’re clearly an interdimensional supersoldier wolf assassin."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Supersolider wolf assassin?" It was his turn to smirk. "That, is the best name I've been called and the nicest at the same time." Je teased. He looked down the corridor as well, back to being serious, ears alert. He sniffed; no human scents around so far. "Anything in particular other than a piece of tech im looking for?

[serenastark-official]

Location: A high-security underground vault in Zurich. Time: 2:37 AM. Objective: Retrieve a stolen Stark Industries prototype before it falls into the wrong hands.

Snow crunched beneath Serena's boots as she pressed herself against the cold metal wall, her breath coming in quiet puffs of mist. The facility was eerily silent—too silent. Her gut told her this wasn't going to be a simple in-and-out job. Adjusting her gauntlet, she tapped her earpiece.

"C.A.R.L.O.S., tell me something good."

Define good, Miss Stark. If you mean the dozen heat signatures moving toward your position, then I regret to inform you that the news is quite bad.

Serena exhaled sharply. "Screw it. Let’s improvise."

Her HUD flickered as she scanned the room ahead—dim emergency lights cast long, jagged shadows. The prototype had to be close. But so was someone else.

A noise. Footsteps.

Serena raised her repulsor, eyes narrowing. Ally or foe? That was the million-dollar question.

"Alright, whoever’s out there, show yourself. You’ve got three seconds before I start blasting."

[mutantwolfiekit]

Ace's tail twitched against the snow, slightly dragging. God he hated this multiversal BULLSHIT; he just came back from a universe where- well, hell he didn't even want to think about it anymore. And just out of nowhere ZAP, in the middle of godamn nowhere. AGAIN.

His tattered hind paw pads made imprints on the snow; his tail every now and then swiping snow to cover bits. But he wasn't to worried. If anything he'd probably just get zapped again... however there was that lingering feeling that this might be a hydra base...

His ears perked as a voice ran out. Feminine, not one familiar. Imposed threat at the end of the sentence. firm.

As Ace went through the traits in his head he pressed himself gently against rhe cold wall, white fur fluffing up against it. He sniffed; not a recognized scent neither. Ace readied himself for a attack, after all, that's all he's been met with for the past months. "Large threat there." He called back in his gruff voice.

[serenastark-official]

Serena's repulsor stayed trained on the shadowy figure, her stance unwavering. "Large threat?" she echoed, arching a brow. "Buddy, you have no idea."

Her HUD adjusted, scanning the dimly lit corridor ahead. Infrared picked up an outline—quadrupedal, large, fur-covered. Not exactly what she was expecting. Not a merc, not a Hydra agent. But that didn’t mean he wasn’t dangerous.

She took a slow step forward, repulsor still humming with barely restrained energy. "You’ve got about three seconds to explain what you’re doing here before I decide you're part of the problem."

[mutantwolfiekit]

His ears strained as he heard her take a small step. Advancing. He narrowed his eyes, fur blowing softly against the slight wind. He kept hidden. He wasn't going to take any chances, not yet. His tail gave another twitch. "I figure if I tell you, you won't quit believe me. I wouldn't." Last time he tried to explain to someone, he was tested on. So. That was out the window. He had a few options here though: tell a lie, tell the truth, or tell a version of the truth.

The latter seemed more likely to work. But, he'd see how this played out.

[serenastark-official]

Serena exhaled, her breath misting in the cold air. "Oh, great. Cryptic answers. Love that," she muttered, lowering her repulsor just a fraction—but only a fraction.

"Alright, listen, White Fang," she said, still keeping her voice firm. "I don’t care if you’re from here, from space, or from some timeline where dogs run Wall Street. You’re in my way, and I’ve got a stolen prototype to retrieve. Either tell me you’re not going to be a problem, or we find out who’s got the better aim."

Her fingers flexed over the repulsor controls. "Spoiler alert: it's me."

[mutantwolfiekit]

the white fang comment made him freeze. His lips began to form into a growl but he stopped himself and took a breath; no. He was in no condition to fight. It wasn't this... persons fault to know that name may have hit some memories. Instead... he gave a small, faint smile. He needed to try a different approach to things.

"So you know what I look like." He mused, not asking. Clearly she had a device of some sort that could make her be able to see him. He then became serious once again. "I'm not here to cause issues, if you aren't, Dora the Explorer."

[serenastark-official]

Her lips twitched. "Dora the Explorer?" she echoed, mock-offended. "Alright, big guy, first of all, rude. Second, if I were Dora, I’d have a talking backpack and a monkey sidekick. All I’ve got is an AI with an attitude problem and a land shark who eats furniture."

Miss Stark, that is an inaccurate representation of my functionality—

"Yeah, yeah, take it up with my complaints department."

She relaxed her stance, slightly, but didn’t drop her guard entirely."Alright, I'll bite," she continued, lowering her repulsor—but not deactivating it. "If you’re not here to cause problems, then what are you doing in the middle of a high-security underground vault at two in the morning? Taking a scenic stroll?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

He chuckled softly, relaxing faintly. Ain't assistant? She reminded him of Stark. Might be a alternative version of him. He gave a small hum. So that's where I am.. He thought.

"Why yes, I just love the feeling of my tail freezing." He responded sarcastically. He then took a breath and a chance. He turned the corner, revealing his form. A tall, Scarred everywhere anthro wolf. He hoped this wouldn't get him shot; he was still recovering from everything else. "What are you doing in this high tech place, as you say it is?" He took in her appearance.

[serenastark-official]

"Okay, damn. Someone’s had a day," she muttered, scanning the scars crisscrossing his furred frame. Her repulsor lowered fully now, though her stance stayed guarded.

At his question, she smirked. "Oh, y’know, the usual—breaking into places, stealing back things that belong to my company, generally being a pain in the ass to bad guys. Typical Tuesday night." She gave him a once-over. "And something tells me you aren’t the ones I need to worry about."

As Ace went through the traits in his head he pressed himself gently against rhe cold wall, white fur fluffing up against it. He sniffed; not a recognized scent neither. Ace readied himself for a attack, after all, that's all he's been met with for the past months. "Large threat there." He called back in his gruff voice.

[serenastark-official]

Serena's repulsor stayed trained on the shadowy figure, her stance unwavering. "Large threat?" she echoed, arching a brow. "Buddy, you have no idea."

Her HUD adjusted, scanning the dimly lit corridor ahead. Infrared picked up an outline—quadrupedal, large, fur-covered. Not exactly what she was expecting. Not a merc, not a Hydra agent. But that didn’t mean he wasn’t dangerous.

She took a slow step forward, repulsor still humming with barely restrained energy. "You’ve got about three seconds to explain what you’re doing here before I decide you're part of the problem."

[mutantwolfiekit]

His ears strained as he heard her take a small step. Advancing. He narrowed his eyes, fur blowing softly against the slight wind. He kept hidden. He wasn't going to take any chances, not yet. His tail gave another twitch. "I figure if I tell you, you won't quit believe me. I wouldn't." Last time he tried to explain to someone, he was tested on. So. That was out the window. He had a few options here though: tell a lie, tell the truth, or tell a version of the truth.

The latter seemed more likely to work. But, he'd see how this played out.

[serenastark-official]

Serena exhaled, her breath misting in the cold air. "Oh, great. Cryptic answers. Love that," she muttered, lowering her repulsor just a fraction—but only a fraction.

"Alright, listen, White Fang," she said, still keeping her voice firm. "I don’t care if you’re from here, from space, or from some timeline where dogs run Wall Street. You’re in my way, and I’ve got a stolen prototype to retrieve. Either tell me you’re not going to be a problem, or we find out who’s got the better aim."

Her fingers flexed over the repulsor controls. "Spoiler alert: it's me."

[mutantwolfiekit]

the white fang comment made him freeze. His lips began to form into a growl but he stopped himself and took a breath; no. He was in no condition to fight. It wasn't this... persons fault to know that name may have hit some memories. Instead... he gave a small, faint smile. He needed to try a different approach to things.

"So you know what I look like." He mused, not asking. Clearly she had a device of some sort that could make her be able to see him. He then became serious once again. "I'm not here to cause issues, if you aren't, Dora the Explorer."

[serenastark-official]

Her lips twitched. "Dora the Explorer?" she echoed, mock-offended. "Alright, big guy, first of all, rude. Second, if I were Dora, I’d have a talking backpack and a monkey sidekick. All I’ve got is an AI with an attitude problem and a land shark who eats furniture."

Miss Stark, that is an inaccurate representation of my functionality—

"Yeah, yeah, take it up with my complaints department."

She relaxed her stance, slightly, but didn’t drop her guard entirely."Alright, I'll bite," she continued, lowering her repulsor—but not deactivating it. "If you’re not here to cause problems, then what are you doing in the middle of a high-security underground vault at two in the morning? Taking a scenic stroll?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

He chuckled softly, relaxing faintly. Ain't assistant? She reminded him of Stark. Might be a alternative version of him. He gave a small hum. So that's where I am.. He thought.

"Why yes, I just love the feeling of my tail freezing." He responded sarcastically. He then took a breath and a chance. He turned the corner, revealing his form. A tall, Scarred everywhere anthro wolf. He hoped this wouldn't get him shot; he was still recovering from everything else. "What are you doing in this high tech place, as you say it is?" He took in her appearance.

[serenastark-official]

"Okay, damn. Someone’s had a day," she muttered, scanning the scars crisscrossing his furred frame. Her repulsor lowered fully now, though her stance stayed guarded.

At his question, she smirked. "Oh, y’know, the usual—breaking into places, stealing back things that belong to my company, generally being a pain in the ass to bad guys. Typical Tuesday night." She gave him a once-over. "And something tells me you aren’t the ones I need to worry about."

Her fingers tapped a command on her gauntlet, pulling up a secondary scan. "So, mystery wolf—got a name? Or am I sticking with White Fang?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

he smirked slightly at her sarcasm in return. He relaxed a bit more, thankful she was no longer a threat. At the moment at least. He watched her gadgets. "I assure you I'm not. To be frank, i.. don't know where I even am. Well, bits and pieces I know of course." His ears twitched at faint sounds.

"Ace would be preferred. I know i look like the living recreation of White fang but... Rather not be reminded of that you could say." He grunted then his eyes landed back on her. "And you are? Tony stark, but female?" He teased slightly. He was trying to gauge if she knew who that was, to see if he was in one THOSE universes.

[serenastark-official]

Serena grinned. "Ace, huh? Alright, noted." She tapped a quick command into her gauntlet, silently filing that away. At his next comment, though, she actually barked out a laugh.

"Pfft—female Tony Stark? Yeah, pretty much." She gave a dramatic hair flip. "The better version, obviously. Smarter, funnier, and way better at accessorizing. I'm his daughter."

Her smirk softened just a bit. "Serena Stark." She watched his expression closely, looking for any flicker of recognition. If he was testing whether he was in one of those universes, she was definitely testing him right back.

"And you’re telling me you just poofed here, no clue how?" she pressed. "Because that sounds like a whole multiversal headache—and I really don’t need another one of those."

[mutantwolfiekit]

his daughter. His eyes widened slightly with surprise; he wasn't aware Tony had a daughter. Interesting. "Serena... nice name." He complimented. "Well-" he sighed and ran a paw through the back of his neck. "It's a complicated situation that I believe we don't have time to take a deep dive into. But yes. It's a multiversal headache. Even for Mr. Strange."

[serenastark-official]

Shall I notify Doctor Strange that you require his assistance?

"Absolutely not. Last thing I need is him monologuing about cosmic balance while I’m in the middle of a heist," she huffed, then shot Ace a knowing look. "Trust me, you don’t wanna deal with him unless you have to."

Serena smirked at Ace. "Good news, if you stick around long enough, I might be able to get you a ticket home. Bad news? We’ve still got a stolen prototype to recover, and I really don’t feel like getting shot at alone. You in?"

[mutantwolfiekit]

the Anthro wolf weighed his options: on one side, she could be tricking him. She could secretly be part of hydra. However her scent wasn't blood and corpses so.. unlikely. Another possible outcome was-

Ace shook his head. God he really needed to stop doing this. Sometimes he had to put a little trust into someone. Also the idea of going home sounded both good and bad...

"Alright, you have a deal." He sighed. "What's this... thing you have to get?"

[serenastark-official]

Serena smirked, tapping her gauntlet to bring up a holographic blueprint. "Glad to have you on board, Ace of Spades."

A sleek, compact device appeared in the projection, glowing faintly with blue energy. "This little beauty is a Stark Industries prototype—next-gen arc reactor core. Portable, powerful, and definitely not something we want in the hands of whatever psychos stole it."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Howd they steal it?" Ace asked as he walked over fully. He towered over her with his height, but kept enough distance to not seem as threatening. He stared at the holographic image with a nuetural expression, not all that impressed. He shifted his paw pads along the cold ground, ears still perked for sound.

[serenastark-official]

If she had a dollar for every time she dealt with someone towering over her, she’d have two Iron Man suits just for flexing.

"Long story short? Inside job," she muttered, her expression darkening. "Someone got access, slipped it out under our noses, and—surprise, surprise—now it’s here, probably getting prepped for sale to the highest bidder."

[mutantwolfiekit]

"Sounds like the usual case." He mused, half to himself, the cold air making his breath come out in small mist puffs. "Hudra possibly?" He cocked and eye.

[serenastark-official]

Location: A high-security underground vault in Zurich. Time: 2:37 AM. Objective: Retrieve a stolen Stark Industries prototype before it falls into the wrong hands.

Snow crunched beneath Serena's boots as she pressed herself against the cold metal wall, her breath coming in quiet puffs of mist. The facility was eerily silent—too silent. Her gut told her this wasn't going to be a simple in-and-out job. Adjusting her gauntlet, she tapped her earpiece.

"C.A.R.L.O.S., tell me something good."

Define good, Miss Stark. If you mean the dozen heat signatures moving toward your position, then I regret to inform you that the news is quite bad.

Serena exhaled sharply. "Screw it. Let’s improvise."

Her HUD flickered as she scanned the room ahead—dim emergency lights cast long, jagged shadows. The prototype had to be close. But so was someone else.

A noise. Footsteps.

Serena raised her repulsor, eyes narrowing. Ally or foe? That was the million-dollar question.

"Alright, whoever’s out there, show yourself. You’ve got three seconds before I start blasting."

[mutantwolfiekit]

Ace's tail twitched against the snow, slightly dragging. God he hated this multiversal BULLSHIT; he just came back from a universe where- well, hell he didn't even want to think about it anymore. And just out of nowhere ZAP, in the middle of godamn nowhere. AGAIN.

His tattered hind paw pads made imprints on the snow; his tail every now and then swiping snow to cover bits. But he wasn't to worried. If anything he'd probably just get zapped again... however there was that lingering feeling that this might be a hydra base...
