Mlle. Marie found her French underground contacts, They were shocked to see Marie. They had not heard from Marie for almost a month. In fact these were alternate reality versions who had expressly been kidnapped to this reality but did not know they had been kidnapped and relocated. So when Marie told her story of pursuit and the escape via a rift in reality they were skeptical but they had to admit there were a lot of strange things happening in Paris on this day. Sightings of a demon, warrior women, a man with six mechanical appendages that behaved like tentacles.

However they could not help Marie to save the Jewish family just yet. The Nazis were up in arms and on high alert because of an uproar this morning where they had been attacked by an incredible vehicle, Some kind of war machine that was vexing the Nazis at this very moment somewhere in the city.

They recommended Marie return to the family and wait with them until things cooled down. Marie had no choice but to comply.

Back in space, near the Winath solar system, the battle between Surtur and Galactus raged on and had attracted the attention of the Yellow Lanterns. Sinestro, Fatality, Arkillo, Lyssa Drak and Amon Sur arrived to observe the fight.

This put the Green Lantern's on edge and they moved to confront the Yellow Lanterns and drive them away.

It was the first meeting of the resurrected Abin Sur and his renegade offspring Amon Sur.

Day 64: Late Morning; in occupied Paris, Vichy France; on a replicated Earth in an alternate reality.

Calvin (Cave) Carson was as concerned as anybody about the massive disappearances of superheroes and supervillains

His own friend Rip Hunter could not be accounted for, nor could Dane Dorrance or Congo Bill.

He was about to pay a call on Animal Man to talk about it when he himself was taken by a rift in reality.

The Sensei looked around. He was in Paris? How had he come to be in Paris? No matter. He merely had to get to the catacombs and he would find the Paris headquarters for the League of Assassins. It did not occur to him to notice that the vehicles and buildings represented a previous era where the Sensei had been a much younger man.

All he knew was he had to get to the catacombs and find his way back to America so he could accomplish his goals.

Cave Carson emerged from the rift in reality and spotted the strange old man hurrying away.

Cave Carson had no idea who the old man was but he suspected the old man might be tied somehow to Carson's bizarre abduction.

Cave noticed his surroundings. The Eiffel Tower! Who wouldn't recognize that?

Something was off though. Cave became self conscious about his own dress. He was dressed for work. All the more reason to not lose sight of the old man he'd seen who seemed as out of place as he was.

Cave rushed to follow the old man who seemed to know where he was going.

The Sensei hurried as fast he could without attracting attention to himself.

He was unaware he was being followed until he reached the nearest entrance to the catacombs. He took a look around and saw Cave Carson in his own outlandish garb hurriedly coming toward him.

The Sensei cursed. He did not want to bring attention toward himself and yet here was this buffoon rushing to join him.

The Sensei ducked into the catacombs and decided to wait for the fool.

He ducked around a corner and waited for Cave Carson to enter.

Cave Carson entered the catacombs and looked around for the old man he'd assumed was harmless.

Where was he?

The Sensei pounced and had Cave Carson in a pinning predicament that would allow the Sensei to kill his victim in seconds.

"who are you?" the Sensei hissed.

Cave Carson gulped and told him.

"Why do you follow me?"

"Because you were the first thing I saw when I emerged from the rift."

"Rift? What are you talking about?"

Cave Carson explained that too.

The Sensei decided there was no honor in killing Cave Carson. "Get up and forget you ever saw me. If I encounter you again I won't suffer you to live. Do you understand me?"

Cave Carson nodded vigorously. He was no fool. This man took him down in a fraction of a second. He was not about to beard the bear.

The Sensei let Cave Carson up and stood up himself.

Staring at Cave Carson menacingly, the Sensei rushed off into the catacombs at a speed Cave Carson found remarkable in such an old man.

Cave Carson did not have a death wish. He waited a reasonable amount of time for the Sensei to go but then his explorer instincts kicked in and he couldn't resist searching the catacombs himself.

Satisfied that he had effectively frightened the foolish spelunker, the Sensei proceeded to seek the League headquarters beneath Paris.

It took him an hour to find it.

Cave Carson moved through the catacombs like a man obsessed.

He seemed to have an specific goal in mind though he, himself was not consciously aware of it.

Eventually he stumbled into a room where he found his Mighty Mole and his explorer crew waiting.

He was shocked. Bulldozer Smith, Johnny Drake and Christie Madison. His explorer team was waiting for him. When they spotted him, they assaulted him with questions.

The Paris League of Assassins branch were shocked to see how much the Sensei had aged. At first they didn't recognize him as they were of the WWII era and not the modern era. When he subdued four of them with relative ease they acknowledged who he was and backed off.

After some discussion he realized (erroneously) that he had somehow been sent back in time.

The Sensei took charge of the Paris branch of the League.

Cave Carson greeted his team. They were primed and ready to go. It seemed they were abducted same time as he and found themselves here at the base of the catacombs with the Mighty Mole. A loud voice in their head told them to wait and Cave Carson would soon show up.

Cave was worried about that old man showing up so he ordered the team into the Mighty Mole and they drove the machine down into the depths of the Earth.

The Punisher's war van continued to careen through Paris as the Nazis tried and failed to block their escape. Longshot's luck powers helped avoid those.

Black Widow was keenly interested in learning more about this reality but Longshot didn't know much as they were cut off from communications being behind enemy lines for so long as they were.

Punisher was too busy blasting Nazis to add his two cents worth.

The Parademon had no patience for staying cooped up in Catman's room until Catman brought him a PlayStation 2 and let him play a violent videogame.

Catman just warned that he keep the noise down so the mansion didn't discover the Parademon before he and Bane could get the Parademon out of there.

The Mighty Mole carved it's way down through solid rock until sensors warned that they were approaching a large cavern beneath them. Johnny Blake adjusted their trajectory so that they would not plunge several feet to the bottom of an open area,

They emerged into the cavern and discovered a subterranean labyrinth of caves to explore.

The Mighty Mole was well stocked so they turned on the flood lights and continued through the caverns. They estimated they were 350 feet below the surface.

It wasn't long before they saw signs of life scurrying away from the bright lights. Small yellow humanoids recoiling from the lights of the Mighty Mole.

Cave Carson ordered them dimmed.

The lights became a soft glow similar to subterranean mushrooms and more tolerable to the humanoids.

What Cave Carson did not know was that these were Moloids of the species subservient to the Marvel Universe's Mole Man and once the light stopped hurting their eyes, they became curious about the Mighty Mole and it's occupents. Slowly, timidly, the moloids approached the underground vehicle.
