(Sydney, Australia: 10:30 PM)

A group of men watched a re-run of a recent rugby match of Australia versus New Zealand. A dark haired long haired man wearing a trenchcoat was sitting alone and kept drinking a shot of whiskey.The men watched and loudly cheered at the victory of Down Under. The man from a distance was annoyed at the cheerful atmosphere and rolling his eyes, thinking of something to do and taking a sip of his drink.

The man glared at them and clenched his fists as he even got disturbed at the crowd. Suddenly, he saw some two strange men who entered the pub and caught his attention.The old man was an Asian looking one talking to another strange man who seemed to be a mysterious one. The old man was arguing with a younger man who did not speak back. Even though the young man was silent, the old one continued arguing like he could hear the silence.

" I'm doing all the work myself again while you good off at some farm!! " he angrily yelled.

" Mind, if I ask you some questions, " the man in trenchcoat caught their attention and grinned, speaking in French accent. " What are you two arguing about? "

The old one turned his head to the trenchcoated one's direction hearing the unsavory voice.

" That's a dangerous question Frenchie, " he commented.

" It's just I got curious about why you are arguing in this pathetic establishment, " he politely said and raised his right hand in interjection. " My concern is, who are you really after? "

The younger man gestured several times and made a low pitched whistle causing the old man to pause.

" What do you mean our contact?! This guy?! " he asked.

" I'm not talking about him, " the Frenchman in trenchcoat replied and smiled. " I am pertaining to someone else..."

The old man coughed and handed a letter containing info about the Frenchman in the trench coat. He received it and intently grinned while inspecting the letter.

" We were told to find you here, genius. You are our contact. "

" Ah, I know... I know..." he chuckled. " Forgive me for not introducing myself, my name's Exodus or perhaps Monsieur Bennet du Paris. I have just dropped by to pay a visit here from Krakoa and Remnant. How about you? Monsieur Magneto asks to check some mutants in this country after this damned invasion by the blue skinned people and the reptilians. "

The old man smirked and replied, " I am Fu Strongberg and this is my younger brother Rune Strongberg. We are not mutants but more,super soldiers. We are hunting a woman who came from a bottle."

" Woman from the bottle? " Exodus grinned and clasped his both hands. " Interesting. I want to hear and see a real life genie. Why are you having such interest with her? "

Fu chuckled darkly, " Not us, but our employer. We are being paid insanely well for this job. But we are not allowed to attack directly or do anything that might damage the goods so to speak. That leaves us with limited means. "

" Your employer. Tell me, who is he? "

" Well, normally our only master is our creator A-list,but he has gone searching abroad. So, we have had to seek alternate...employment. We are currently repo men of sorts."

" Fair enough, I might join your exploit, " the French mutant in trenchcoat said and stood up. " I am getting sick and tired of watching these fools. I have a question aside from that genie. Is there someone who handles her? "

Rune whistled and chirped making a noise like birds in spring. Fu Strongberg nodded in agreement.

" I agree you're our best bet against magic."

" I am still asking who is the one getting that genie? You have not answered my question..." Exodus heavily sighed and waited for the two to answer. " Do you know who he or she is? "

Fu stretched softly and said, " We are to bring her and her bottle to a drop off point. Our employer is mysterious no one knows who he is. We are not paid to be nosy."

" You idiots! I mean the one who took the genie. Not your employer! "

The mutant clenched his fists in anger, forming a bright radiant energy. The two men got terrified at the overpowered Frenchman and gulped. The patrons got surprised to see the angry mutant and felt horrified to look at him.

" Tell me, who?! "

" S-some young blonde guy and an Aussie lady on the outskirts why? The young man sketches me out it's like he has..." Rune nervously answered and clicked his tongue.

" Exactly!" Fu added. " An almost cosmic awareness! "

" Heh...Cosmic awareness...How weak..." Exodus smirked and darkly chuckled. " Don't tell me there is another Kree Eternal rising! The last time I saw him was the old man Methu-Selah who visited this pitiful planet several centuries ago!  I, Exodus, am the strongest and most powerful being in the universe! No mutant and anyone else can defeat me! "

Rune sighed making a sound like rustling leaves in autumn as Fu coughed.

" Indeed. Shega is not just any genie. She is a living relic from an age where magic was the dominant force. That means getting her will not be an easy task! The magic she must have will be dangerous to all."

" Magic... Perhaps, I can take her away from that meddling Kree Eternal boy. "

Fu laughed a dusty laugh and replied, " Not unless, you can do it quietly without causing physical or property damage you're not. "

" I have to observe that child and his genie first, " he said. " I am very careful and subtle enough to get it. You know, I don't usually get casualties before I fight. We will just play tricks on that child, but not dirty and damaging. "

" Good, because for a minute there I thought you were going to go in blasting. That would be a bad move. You would bring agents on us."

" Sorry my bad temper, " Exodus sighed in shame. " It's just because I also sensed another Kree Eternal in this country. I assume that boy is the one whom you met. "

Fu nodded and scratched his head, " Us too. We just can't tell if it's the young man or the Aussie woman is the ancient Kree's child. They smell related to me, so either one could be the one. "

" Now, we have to be subtle in observing them before we get that genie. Understood? "

Rune hummed like a fan and smiled, " Hmmm good point. We have to find out first who has the Kree Cosmic Awareness."

Fu said, " Unless, we do that the target will know we are around."

" I have some rumors from my fellow mutants about that boy is taking Aviation training, " he grinned and looked at the poster of a nearby airbase. " Perhaps, an undercover duty will do. We will just witness what he does for now and plan how can we get that genie. "

"  Good idea, " the old man said and grinned. "I think one of them can read minds. My muscles tingle around them. I have no brain and run entirely on a 200 IQ muscle memory. I don't like it when people can read my muscles."

" Are you sure you can track the Kree Eternal? " Exodus crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows in doubt.

Fu confidently answered and pointed to his ghostly younger brother, " I can smell them with bloodhound precision but rune here can sense souls so it's more precise. We will be on them like white on rice my skeptical ally."

" In this activity, we will not make anything destructive. "

" I'm pretending to be just a blind old man when around and about to avoid suspicion. Rune on the other hand only travels around at night to avoid suspicion."

" But this time, we are going to have different disguise, " Exodus pointed at the men wearing some RAAF shirts. " Airbase people. "

Fu handed Exodus a blank ID card and evilly grinned, " Then, we should use these."

" Perfect messieurs...." he evilly smirked. " Now, we can easily go there.."

" A-List makes them he calls them psychic ID tags."

" Now, that makes the three of us to get there. "
