Note: Despite the name Heroic Marvel, there is no relation to the Marvel Heroic system.
It has been one year since the age of heroes ended. Spider-Man had disappeared. All Avengers team had disbanded. The mystical arts are hidden away. The cosmic heroes are now grounded or staying with the stars. The gods are nowhere to be seen. And the X-Men have closed their doors beyond training new mutants on how to use their gifts properly and taking a more diplomatic approach to human-mutant relations.
Of course, even though a year has passed, heroes are never truly gone. They are merely waiting for the right moment to reappear. And this story is about the catalyst for their return.
OOC: I will leave it up to on what your character is doing for the start and will take it from there.

Talia wakes from her daily sleep having become more an more nocturnal as time went by where she is no longer needed at all hours. Opening her window to the breaking twilight she begins her morning exercise regimen of acrobatic twist turns and flips to keep herself limber and toned. The world seems to have no need or want for heroes any longer; no more teams, no more struggles to save the world, no more adrenaline pumping through her veins as bullets wiz by her face... Is it selfish to miss the bad old days she wanders. Dressing she leaves the house ready for another exciting, engaging, and who does she think she is kidding? day of work.

As Talia began heading to work, she saw someone rushing by her. A second later, a convience store worker ran out and asking for someone to stop the thief clearly speaking of the person who just ran by. Hey, it isn't exactly fighting Hydra, Brotherhood of Mutants, or the time Galactus tried to eat Earth and was sending his many heralds to try to defeat the heroes of Earth. But it is better than nothing, right?
Note: Bit of an explanation, but in this universe Galactus has multiple heralds though after being betrayed by Silver Surfer he now sticks to one which he keeps an eye on. Hydra is also responsible for ending the age of heroes thanks to them revealing secrets like the fact several of Earth's mightiest heroes had a formed a group called the Illuminati and were deciding how to take care of threats before they happened. And the government funded version of the Avengers called the Ultimates were committing illegal activities in an attempt to fight international crime. I am gonna try to leave everything else vague so to allow other people to shape things.

As you caught up with the thief, you realized two things. One the thief is actually a girl. Two, you recognize her. Jubilee, once a member of X-Men and thought to have died during the Apocalypse Times event. What is she doing here, and why is she stealing from stores? And why is she still trying to run away from you and not using her fireworks power to distract you?

OOC: Sorry for late reply, phone died and I didn't have access to laptop until now.
"Huh? Sparkles?" Jubilee then stopped and turned around a bit clearly surprised that someone recognized her. Now that you have a good look at her under a street lamp, you can tell she is definitely Jubilee. The real deal. But that still doesn't answer any of the previous questions.

God dad is going to shit a brick.... Don't tell him I said that I do not need another lecture about cursing or using the lords name in vain. I thought you were dead what happened?
Talia pulls her into an alleyway where they wont be seen. After all Jubilee was just robbing a place so the cops will come eventually.

Jubilee looks around biting her lip. "Well... I didn't die. But I might as well had. You see... I'm no longer a mutant." Jubilee then looked at the ground clearly trying to not remember what happened.

"No, I don't want to bother anyone right now. And to be honest, I was actually knocked out in one of Apocalypse's pods. Only reason I lived, but it zapped me of my mutant DNA. And apparently was so buried that no one could find it. I was lucky to get out... Sorry for worrying everyone, but I really didn't want to bother anyone after learning what happened with the world." Jubilee then turned to look sadly at the city around him. "No more super heroes, huh?"

Here is my address and the key to my place you are staying with me till we get you back on your feet I have to get to work but I will see you after my sift. No more stealing okay? I know you are fully capable of taking care of yourself but the last thing I want is a friend of mine having to struggle like this.

Jubilee seemed conflicted on how to respond before giving a quick hug. "Thanks, I would like a decent place to sleep for once. I promise to not be too... much..."
Jubilee's voice trailed off as she was staring at something behind you. Turning around, you saw a giant purple thing wearing a strange outfit. The being is simply standing there staring at the stars above.

You wont be. Know who cause I have never seen them before?
Nocturn turns around understanding Jubilee is not one to find the strange fascinating and doesn't scare easy.

The being then notices you and Jubilee and gives a friendly smile. "Ah, hello Earthlings. Would either of you mind doing me a favor and showing me around town." The creature seems friendly enough in spite of its hulking build. And it appears to be an alien since it referred to you and Jubilee as Earthlings. Maybe it is more like Groot than Galactus?
