Billy Batson, the kid newscaster, landed a big on air interview with Power Girl and Terra Atlee for his TV station WHIZ. That afternoon he welcomed the two to the studio and said “holy moly, what a great honor it is to interview you two!” Mary Batson and Freddy Freeman were at the studio too. First he asked P.G. what she enjoyed most about being a superhero. She said she enjoyed capturing the criminals and keeping the public safe. An extra bonus for her was to know her efforts were appreciated. Billy asked Terra the same question. She said she enjoyed beating up the bad guys and hanging around people like P.G. P.G blushed a little. Next Billy asked Terra if it is true that she comes from a subterranean realm beneath the surface of the Earth. Terra was about to answer when something unexpected happened. A noisy crowd burst into the studio. It included Dr. Sivana and his children, Ibac the Cursed, and Aunt Minerva. In the commotion Billy, Mary and Freddy said their magic words and became Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel Junior. A general brawl broke out but P.G defeated Ibac, Terra crushed Aunt Minerva. Captain Marvel squashed Sivana, Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel Junior captured the remainder. They tied the captives up and called the police. Mary felt something on her arm and quickly grabbed Mister Mind before he could hide in her costume. She put him in a jar with some small holes in its lid. Captain Marvel spoke to P.G and Terra Atlee and apologized for the disturbance. He looked P.G in the eye and thanked her for taking on Ibac. She reached out and hugged him tightly saying “You’re welcome!” Terra whispered to Mary that P.G is touched when people thank her. Then Captain Marvel thanked Terra for capturing Aunt Minerva. Terra said “no probs!” The police arrived and took the criminals into custody including Mr. Mind. Captain Marvel said “Well ladies, we should be going.” Seconds after the Marvels left, Billy, Mary and Freddie came back into the room. Terra said “You guys can’t fool us, you are the Marvels!” Captain Marvel turned red but they had a good laugh. The cameraman filmed the melee and broadcast it live. Callers were assured that it was really happening. P.G suggested that they go out for dinner in their civilian clothes to avoid detection. They had an enjoyable evening. The girls were talking privately and P.G said that Captain Marvel was cute. Terra said that Captain Marvel Junior was cute. P.G. said that the boys must adore Mary. Mary blushed a little, saying she was too young for that. Terra said that in a few years every guy Mary met would ask her to marry him. Mary blushed again and giggled a bit.
I’m Forge and I was working with the X-Men a number of years ago. Banshee and I were trying to reassemble the X-Men after they were supposed to have been killed off earlier. We found Jean Grey, Callisto and Colossus in New York. Dazzler, Storm and Wolverine were enroute to New York. I used to have a relationship with Storm, but I don’t know how she feels about me. I received a telepathic message from Betsy AKA Psylocke to meet her and a girl at the dock in Los Angeles. She gave me the name of the freighter coming in from Asia. I didn’t know who this other person was but I flew out to L.A. I was pretty heavily armed because the Reavers were suspected of being in country. I developed specially hardened, diamond tipped shells. They were designed to penetrate adamantium. I rented a van and headed over to the dock area and found the ship. I spotted Lady Deathstrike, one of the most feared members of the Reavers approaching the ship. She was a cyborg, half woman, half machine. I got out my miniature bazooka and armed it with my special shells. I positioned myself between the ship and Deathstrike. I hit her where her heart would have been, if she had one with two shells. It caused a large explosion, followed by an intensely hot fire. After a few minutes I went over and saw the burning mass that had been her body. I saw some of her adamantium fingernails. Betsy and a young teenage girl came around the corner and the girl yelled at me for almost killing them. Betsy was beautiful but she was a bit thin, tired and worried looking now. The girl was feisty, skinny and about 14 or 15 years old. Betsy called her Jubilee and said I was a friend and could be trusted. She thanked me for coming and I said I had a van nearby and that we needed to escape quickly. I led the way and pointed out what was left of Lady Deathstrike. I picked up some adamantium fingernails and said I wanted to study Pierce’s work. Jubilee said “eww, gross!” Jubilee said she and Logan fought with Pierce and she used her explosive power to blast him into a wall. They left him under the rubble before they left Australia. We got into the van and I asked Betsy if she could detect any Reavers in the area using her psychic powers. She couldn’t find any. I said we were heading for New York ASAP. As I drove away I asked how their trip was and they both groaned. Betsy said they ran into several days of stormy weather and that they were both seasick. Jubilee said “but, you were claustrophobic too Betsy.” I said it sounded like a bad trip. They both went silent as we continued heading east. We finally got to San Bernardino and I said it was probably safe to stop. The girls perked up a bit at that news. We stopped at a fast-food place. Jubilee got two double cheeseburgers and Betsy got one. They both wolfed their dinners down. Betsy is a fastidious eater usually, so she must have been starving. They seemed to feel better afterwords. I turned in the rented van and got a sedan to throw off anyone who might be looking for us. We rented a couple of rooms at a motel in San Bernardino for the night. We met the next morning in motel lobby at 0700 for the breakfast. The girls seemed to be feeling much better. Jubilee ate a plate of everything. We got back on the road. Betsy helped with the driving. We exchanged rental cars periodically. Gradually, I found out their stories. Betsy told about the X-Men’s exile in the Australian outback and their escape from the Reavers. She ended up in Hong Kong with amnesia. She was brainwashed and programmed to be an assassin by The Hand. Jubilee somehow followed the X-Men girls back to Australia from the U.S. and hid out, avoiding detection. She witnessed the crucifixion of Logan by the Reavers. She said she saved his life and helped him escape. They ended up in Hong Kong where they met Betsy who was working for The Hand by then. Betsy was supposed to brainwash Logan but the plan backfired. She got her memory back as well as catching Logan’s insanity. The three of them turned on their captors and escaped. Later, Logan bribed a freighter captain to let Betsy and Jubilee stow away on his ship. They were given an empty storage room to live in. After a rough crossing they arrived back in the old USA. Betsy used her yoga skills to help her calm her claustrophobia and seasickness. She taught it to Jubilee and it helped. I told them about developments in New York. Banshee and I found Jean Grey, Callisto and Colossus in New York. Colossus had amnesia for a while. We battled the Morlocks and escaped intact. Later on Dazzler, Storm and Logan surfaced and were enroute to New York. Jubilee was especially excited to hear about Logan. We continued our journey and arrived in NYC after 5 days travel. When the three of us entered the X-Men’s fortress, there were a lot of people in the front room. As we stepped in Jubilee saw Logan and rushed to him shedding tears of joy. They had a touching reunion. Logan introduced the group to Miss Jubilation Lee who saved his life in Australia. She blushed a little at first but soon was basking in the attention she received. Looking around the room I saw Banshee, Storm, Dazzler and the others. Seeing Storm reignited my feelings for her. Betsy and I turned to each other and hugged and she gave me a kiss. She was so relieved to be with old friends again and ran over and soon they were hugging, greeting and crying tears of joy. Storm came over and said that Betsy told her that I killed Lady Deathstrike. I said I had, and she embraced me and gave me a kiss. I forgot what a great kisser she is and how stunningly beautiful she is. Storm announced that there was another hero in their midst and said I killed Lady Deathstrike. I was a little embarrassed and said I did what any of them would have done. Soon I was getting lots of attention. As happens in gatherings like this, the men and women gathered in separate groups. The girls were talking about their feelings. Then they moved on to discuss shopping expeditions. The men went to another room. Banshee said I had all the luck. I replied “poor Irish, you never get any breaks.” I showed them Lady Deathstrike’s adamantium claws. Logan said the claws might be stronger than his. Then he produced some Cuban cigars, but I passed up the opportunity. Logan suggested that we hit several bars he knows in NYC. Storm came into the room, stood next to me and put her hand on my shoulder and announced that the Reavers were in the area and that no one was going anywhere that night and that dinner was being prepared. After she left the room, Banshee said “I’ll bet Storm has a crush on you Forge.” Then he asked who was the better kisser: Storm or Betsy? I said that a gentleman never discusses such matters. Logan said “That’s right bubs!” At dinner, Jubilee had a pizza and the rest of us had Chinese. Logan showed off his skill with the chopsticks. I sat next to Storm on one side with Jubilee on her other side. I asked Storm how she knew that the Reavers were in the area. She said Betsy and she could detect their thoughts telepathically. She said that Pierce was angry that Deathstroke was dead and he wanted revenge. Logan said “I say we take revenge on him.” Storm said that the next day we would have a recon-in-force and find out if the Reavers really wanted to fight. She continued that for now we should celebrate. After clean-up we watched an old movie. I was preoccupied with Storm and tomorrow’s battle that I don’t really remember it. I went to bed early because because I have guard duty at 0600 tomorrow.
Domino is my name, and it is always the same. I'm not sweet like Domino sugar, I'm really a born killer, Don't let my sexy body fool you, If I have to, I'll kill you!
I would give The Indredible Hulk a years' worth of conflict and anger management therapy sessions. I would give Power Girl a cover for her costume hole that say 'my eyes are up here' with an arrow pointing upward. I would give all of the single superheroes a years' membership in a reputable online matchmaking service so they can meet some 'normal' people for a change. I would give all the superheroines 12 day-long sessions in the spa of their choice.
I’m Superman and I helped organize a holiday outing to a ski resort for fellow superheroes. I was talking to Wonder Woman and asked her how she felt about snowball fights. She said she loved them and was the champion snowball fighter in Themyscira. She added that she has never been beaten in a snowball fight. The Flash overheard this and said he was a great snowball fighter and could beat her. She said she cannot be beaten and went on to say she could beat all of us together. That included me, Batman, The Flash, Supergirl, Green Lantern and others. She said she would take us all on as long as no one used super speed. Flash and the others agreed. I said I would join in but Batman said he didn’t like snowball fights. Then the contest began. Wonder Woman used her bracelets of victory to deflect the snowballs back at us. Her stamina is most impressive. We kept throwing snowballs and she kept deflecting them back at us. It went on for hours but no one wanted to give up. Finally, I called for a ceasefire and proposed that we call it a draw. We would all be winners. Everyone agreed. I offered to buy hot chocolate for Wonder Woman and Batman when we got back to the lodge to celebrate. We celebrated our victory with hot chocolate before Wonder Woman took us out for dinner.
I am Psylocke and I'm hard as a rock. People think I'm just a lovely rose and that my life is just a pose. I was born Betsy Braddock but became a mutant and my powers are most potent. Many have tried to enslave me but in the end they can't control me. I am hard as a rock my name is Psylocke.
I have been reading some X-Men comics from the late 1970s or early 80s when Ladydeathstrike was pursuing Wolverine with the Reavers. I got the impression that she might have a crush of Wolvie. She didn't seem to be enthusiastic about capturing him after he escaped from the x cross. Is that possible?
Power Girl and Terra Atlee Capture Maxwell Lord. Hi, I'm Atlee also known as Terra. I'm living in New York City with my best friend in the world, Karen, also known as Power Girl! We share an apartment with Stinky, Karen's cat. One morning before it was light Karen woke me up and said she found out where Maxwell Lord was hiding. She said he was hiding in a cabin in the Catskill Mountains north of NYC and we need to hurry to catch him. I have heard he was a real bad guy. I got up got dressed, put some bottled water and some snacks in a backpack and prepared to leave. I can throw boulders around but I can't fly so I hitch a ride with Karen. I ride piggyback. I got a good hold around her body and she took off flying. I guess she was using a GPS unit to find the place. I like to fly with her because she is so strong and reassuring. We landed outside of a cabin in the woods. Karen sent me to enter the cabin through the back door and she was going to use the front door. I waited for the signal and heard Karen scream. Karen isn't a screamer, so I panicked and raced to the front door. She was holding Maxwell Lord around the legs. I could see she was in a lot of pain. I tackled Lord and knocked him to the ground. He didn't see me coming and I put cuffs on his wrists and ankles and left him on the ground. I turned Karen over on her back and saw a rock about the size of a grenade held by a cord around her neck. She gasped out "kryptonite" and I removed the rock and threw it as far as I could. She was getting better but was still in a lot of distress. I dragged Lord over closer to Karen so I could sit on him and comfort her. She was trying to hold back the tears so I told her go ahead and cry. I cried too. After about a half hour she was able to speak. I asked her how she was doing and she said she was slowly getting better. I asked her about the kryptonite and she said it was from Earth-2 and she is sensitive to it. I asked Lord where he got the rock from and he refused to answer. Karen used her emergency beacons to call for Superman and Supergirl and the Justice Society of America for help. I continued to sit on Lord because I didn't want him to get away. After about a half hour Superman and Supergirl arrived. Karen told him that Lord burst out of the front door of the cabin and put the rock with the cord around her neck. Almost immediately she felt horrible pain in her ample bosom and general weakness but was able to grab Lord around the legs and hold on. I told him about my part. He asked Karen how she was doing and she said she was better. He said he needed to test this rock to make sure what it is. He said he suspected that he was immune to this Earth-2 kryptonite and that it was bad luck that Lord got it somehow. Lord wouldn't answer Superman's questions either. He asked Supergirl to stay with us until the JSA got there and he would take the rock to his lab. He bent over and gave Karen a hug and said she would be okay. He said he knew that she was suffering alot. I showed him where the rock was and he approached it carefully and found that he was immune to it. He flew off to his Fortress of Solitude where is his lab is. I got to go there and it is a truly awesome place. I call Supergirl Linda since both she and Karen share the name of Kara. She and I are great friends and I was glad to have her with me. My stomach started growling and I remembered the snacks I brought a long. I offered to share them but Karen refused. Linda said she should at least drink water. She ended up eating two granola bars. After about another half hour Stargirl, Cyclone and Anna Fortune from JSA arrived. Those three along with Supergirl searched the cabin and flew around the area but didn't find anything. They wrote up police reports and Cyclone, Stargirl and Anna Fortune flew Maxwell Lord to the state police headquarters. A short while later Karen said she was feeling well enough to fly home. I hitched a ride with Linda. She told me I could tighten my hold on her. I was a little concerned about flying with Linda since she is smaller than Karen, but she is a great flyer and we got home safely. Karen was exhausted by the flight and she went to bed immediately after putting on her nightgown.. Linda and I got hungry after a while and I went to the neighborhood pizzeria and picked up three large pizzas with the works. The smell of the pizzas woke Karen up and she joined us for dinner. We both ate our pizzas with gusto. Linda was concerned about the super-hot peppers and anchovies. We helped with them. We all sat down on the sofa to watch a movie. Karen got tired and went to bed. After about an hour she came out and laid down on the sofa on top of Linda and I. We giggled about it for a while but be had to wake her up. We tickled her and after wriggling for a bit Karen woke up and began to tickle us. I don't know how long this tickling war went on but I was sore from all the laughing. I didn't know I was so ticklish. It was time for all of us to go to bed. Linda and I shared my bed. Karen could sleepwalk again. I could hear Karen snoring softly next door. Linda and I got ready for bed, and after a little more giggling I fell asleep. When I woke up the next morning I smelled breakfast cooking. Karen made scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. Linda was already there and since they were so hungry they had already eaten. Karen served me a plateful and we sat around the table and talked while I ate. I was so hungry! I asked Karen how she was doing and she said almost completely well. She said that when the kryptonite hit her it felt like a red-hot elephant was sitting on her chest and she was very weak. Now the pain is all gone and her energy levels are approaching normal. She said she was so grateful. I said I was very glad that Karen was recovered and that Linda stayed with us. Later on Superman stopped by to check on the patient. He confirmed that the rock was some kind of kryptonite and that it was very disturbing that Lord had possession of it. He said that I had saved Karen's life and was crucial in capturing Lord. He said I was growing into a real superhero, and he was proud of me. I blushed. He gave all three of us a hug before departing for Metropolis. A delegation from the JSA stopped by to check on their chief. They brought flowers. Apparently Lord escaped from jail overnight. The JSA has issued an interplanetary alert to all superheroes to catch Lord if they see him. By the time they left it was late so Linda decided to spend another night with us. That's wonderful!
