Once upon a time in New York City...

Disasters happen all the time, and New York seems to have more than its share of them. Fortunately, the Big Apple also has its fair share of heroes. And on this occasion, it needed every single one of them.

Nobody knows exactly how it started, but one afternoon, the city was almost overrun by strange, alien beings. Hundreds of thousands of lives hung in the balance. Fortunately, the heroes were quick to respond. The crisis brought out the city's finest--the League of Justice, the Fantastic Family, Doctor Destiny, Spiderella, and more. And when the day was done and the city was saved, the heroes all went their separate ways.

All, that is, except for one small group of heroes. They were unknown and relatively inexperienced. But they knew they had made a difference that day, and they knew the city would need them again. So they exchanged contact information and made a loose pact, vowing to be there for the people of New York when nobody else could be.

This is their story.
