The battlefield of earth was intensifying in the area around the Mathew, Elania, Astrid and Son of Time since the Ethereal Trio’s arrival.
“The Matron must have known about your arrival,” said Son
“Who is that?” Elania asked.
“The Matron of Reality,” said Son. “It all began 10 years ago when she appeared on earth. None of us saw it coming. That seemed to be the end of our beginning. We’ve been trying to fight her off since then but most of us are dead now. My father was the first casualty. Harbinger basically had a death sentence on himself since his daughter was killed. Ashley fell afterwards. Safe to say there are very few of us left and we are scattered. Mathew is the only one I know of the whereabouts.”
“If only we had known,” said Mathew, “This may have been prevented.”
“That may be possible now.” Son said all the sudden.
“Son you said we weren’t able to send anything back in time for rupturing everything going forward. I asked you that close to 8 years ago when things started falling apart.”
“The girls may be the answer. They haven’t been in time for the last 20 years. I can technically send something back to myself through time. Considering they aren’t written in 10 years ago, I can send them back.”
“Well you better do something, its seriously getting worse and she will probably be here any minute.” Mathew said as a towering figure appeared in the distance. “Scratch that; she is here.”
“Hold her off Mathew. I’ll get the process going.”
“Make it quick,” said Mathew running out in the thick of things and shifting everything he could in his final push.
Elania and Astrid merged. Son held out TADRA as Mathew died. He shot a beam and the Ethereal Trio began to glow. The glow intensified as their cover gave way.
“Inform Rufus and me of what is going to happen. This should get you back to the Misfit Society HQ.
The Ethereal Trio glowed bright, Son died and they disappeared.

Rufus seemed to be getting older since giving away Black Shifter. He had Jason in a cage as he tried to break free. They had tried many things to get through to Jason, but he was still in a rage. Son was contemplating reversing time with TADRA when the watch started blinking.
“What is that?” Rufus asked.
“Something that shouldn’t be happening; I’m sending something,” Son replied confused.
“Where are you sending something to?”
“You don’t understand. With TADRA I can something to myself though time, but my father forbids it since I took up this thing. Never the less here it comes.”
Son held out TADRA and shot a beam to one spot. The Ethereal Trio emerged from it. Elania touched the ring and they separated. Jason suddenly realized what was in front of him and the human side of him was back.
“Madams,” he called out.
“Oh my god Jason,” said Elania running up to the cage.
“Holy shit there here and he’s back.”
“This must be Elania and Astrid,” Son noted. “Where did you two come from?”
“We came from 2028,” explained Astrid. “Let Jason out and we will tell you everything.”
Rufus, Son, Jason, Replicor, Kathleen, Elania and Astrid were seated in the war room of the Misfit Society when Elania and Astrid finished.
“Lori sacrificed herself to save you two,” said Jason. “I’m so sorry.”
“I don’t understand,” said Rufus. “How could the Matron be free of the Point of Reality?”
“A member of the Paradox Triad was killed. She has been freed of what’s basically her prison.” Son explained.
“More to the point, why is she waiting until now?”
“Something must have happened 10 years ago that kept her from wanting or having the ability to come back until now.”
“In any case we need to finally get the team together.”
“Who is the team,” asked Astrid.
“Just a bunch of Common Misfits that need to save the world,” Rufus concluded.
The stage is set, and the pieced are moving. Let the Common Misfit team begin.
