The [[Terrific Two]] have decided to cease running from the [[Bureau of Singularity]]. After [[Kelly]] manages to steal a [[Pool Portal|portal]] back to their [[Nexus of Realities|home dimension]] from an agent of the Bureau, the Two bring it to [[Professor Madison]], who is house-sitting at [[Captain Evening | The [[Terrific Two]] have decided to cease running from the [[Bureau of Singularity]]. After [[Kelly]] manages to steal a [[Pool Portal|portal]] back to their [[Nexus of Realities|home dimension]] from an agent of the Bureau, the Two bring it to [[Professor Madison]], who is house-sitting at [[Captain Evening (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Captain Evening]]'s Fortress. They decide that they need to recruit a team of heroes to attack the home base of the Bureau. Using a secret protocol in the Captain's computer, they notify and summon such a crew, consisting of [[Mysto the Space-Wizard]], [[Terry Tornado]], [[The Big Bad Wolf (Reality Z-25 31-H)|the Big Bad Wolf]] and [[Red Riding Hood (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Red Riding Hood]] — although, after hearing the nature of the mission, Red and the Wolf soon opt out. | ||
After Madison downloads part of her mind into a [[Robot Madison|robot duplicate]] to guard the house while they're gone, she feeds the team's clothes and weapons to a [[the Mutant|Mutant-creature]] that will keep their molecular structure intact as they travel through the [[Pool Portal]]. [[Jenkins]] is sent ahead for reconnaissance work, owing to his invisibility, but fails to come back. When the rest of the team follow him into the strange landscape of the [[Nexus of Realities]], they bump into a dishevelled Jenkins who explains that time is unstable here and he has been waiting for them for a week. It also turns out that ''probability'' works differently here, such that a highly unlikely mode of attack (such as a normal woman like Madison hitting the wall bare-handed) has a greater effect than the heroes using their superpowers. | After Madison downloads part of her mind into a [[Robot Madison|robot duplicate]] to guard the house while they're gone, she feeds the team's clothes and weapons to a [[the Mutant|Mutant-creature]] that will keep their molecular structure intact as they travel through the [[Pool Portal]].
