One year later

"I'm being WHAT!?" The news hit him like a atom bomb. Sued, are you serious? He couldn't believe it.

"I'm sorry Branch, the report came to my desk early this morning. Trust me I will do everything in my power to get these charges dropped." Branch's lawyer Peppy said. Not only was Peppy Branch's lawyer, but also Branch's father in-law. In fact it was because of being Peppy's client that he discovered that Poppy was Plastic Girl and the two of them started dating.

"Dad this is stupid, Branch didn't do anything wrong, he saved the guy's life," Poppy protested. The news hit Poppy just as hard to.

"I know that Poppy and I'm going to try my best to make the judge sees that but according to the report the guy was attempting suicide and Branch interfered and as a result caused the guy physical and emotional pains."

"This is ridiculous" Branch huffed. "Five years protecting this city and what thanks do I get? Getting hit with a lawsuit."

"I wish it was just you," Peppy said catching the attention of Branch and Poppy "But it turns out citizens are coming out in droves and suing supers for physical and constructive damages. This scandal is going far beyond you, but with all supers in general."

"What?" Both Branch and Poppy gasped together.

"Just before I left my office to come here I overheard the chief D.A say she is going to push to put a end to the Super Troll program and have them all relocated.

"This is not fare dad!" Poppy screamed "All we have done is protect these people from threats, if it wasn't for us they'd be dead!"

"I know that Poppy, and I'm going to do everything from my end to clear your husband and protect the Super's reputation.

"Take me to the court house." Branch ordered, "I want to give this guy a piece of my mind!"

"I'm coming too." Poppy said

"No Poppy, I need you to stay and watch the baby." Branch protested.

"Fat chance Branch, you're my husband and I'm going to be by your side. I can call the twins and have them watch her. But I'm going to support you through this.

"Fine, but make it quick." Branch said, Poppy ran inside and grabbed the phone and called the twins, within fifteen minutes Satin and Chenille arrived and greeted the two of them with a warm hug.

"I heard what is going on darlings, complete garbage I say." Satin said "You save their lives and they are ungrateful, bah, like they could do better in your situation."

"Thank you for coming on such short notice" Poppy said "And I wish it was under better circumstances."

"Oh course my dear, of course." Chenille said "Anything for my two favorite supers. Now run along now and go give that judge and D.A a piece of your minds. The baby will be fine."

Poppy thanked the twins and got in the car and headed to the court house.

"Are you sure the twins can handle Scarlett?" Branch asked "Their fashion designers not exactly certified baby sitters."

"Well I figured Cooper will be at the court house as well considering this scandal involves all supers, and the twins were the best option I could think of at the moment."

"You mean besides staying home and watching her while I dealt with this as I asked?"

"Branch you need me right now. Your name is being drug through the mud and I'm not just going to stand in the shadows while it happens. For better or worse, I'm by your side."

Branch smiled, that was one of the things he loved about Poppy, she had his back. It was the Super Troll in her, not leaving anybody alone when they were vulnerable. And as Branch hated to admit it, he was vulnerable right now, his reputation was in jeopardy as well as his career as a Super Troll. He did need her right now, more then ever.

Once Branch and Poppy arrived at the court house there was a wave of reporters of both troll and bergen alike there waiting and hoping for a response from him. Branch and Poppy quickly changed into their super suits and stepped outside where they were ambushed by reporters and photographers.

"Mr. Increditroll what is your side of the story on these charges against you?" One reporter asked

"Did you know that the troll you saved was committing suicide?"

"Did you intentionally hurt the troll?

"My client is not going to answer any questions at this time." Peppy stepped in as he led Branch inside while the reporters and photographers still crowding them trying to get answers and pictures for the papers.

"Mr. Increditroll are you really guilty or is this..." Peppy slammed the door to the court house shut ending all the reporters attempt at getting a word from Branch.

"Reporters." Peppy scoffed, "They love a good scandal, especially when it comes from a important figure. Give them a inch and they take a mile. Give them a syllable and they'll make a front page article about it."

"Create a accusation about a beloved figure and they'll set out to ruin their reputation in order to make a name for themselves." Branch added.

"We'll save your reputation, and all the other supers reputation, trust me." Peppy said

"God I hope so," Poppy said. It pained her to see Branch's name be drug threw the mud unfairly like this, especially when he did nothing to deserve it. He was just doing his job, so what if a few injuries happened because of it. It's not like the guy died from them or anything. Maybe that was the point though, the guy did want to die and Branch prevented that. That is what angered Poppy even more. This guy was so wanted to commit suicide that when Branch prevented it from happening he got so angry he decided to sue him. Give Poppy two minutes alone with this person and she would beat the suicidal tendencies and money hungry attention right out of him. Boy she was steamed and this moron better hope he didn't run into her in the hallway.

As the judge and D.A arrived in the courtroom Branch took his seat next to Peppy while Poppy took a seat in the audience alongside Cooper who showed up for moral support dressed up as Frostbite.

"Thanks for showing up Frostbite." Poppy said

"Anything for Mr. Increditroll" Cooper replied. It was then that his eyes lit up when he saw the judge, she was a red skinned troll with stringy yellow hair. Spotting her made his heart nearly beat out of his chest.

"Um, is it just me or is that judge kind of cute?"

"Frostbite please don't tell me you are going gaga over the person in control of Mr. Increditroll's fate."

"Where you see a threat, I see more as a challenge." Frostbite said "And who knows maybe I can persuade her to rule in Mr. Increditroll's favor, say over dinner or something."

"You are crazy you know that?"

"What can I say, I like a good challenge."

"You are way over your head with this one buddy."

"All rise." They suddenly heard. All the trolls in the courtroom stood up. "Please be seated, Judge Suki will be overseeing the case."

"May we hear from the plaintiff?" Suki asked.

"Yes, your honor." The Plaintiff's attorney said "My client, Olive didn't ask to be saved, Olive didn't want to be saved. And the injuries received from Mr. Increditroll's actions, if you can call it that, causes him daily pain."

"Hey, I saved your life!" Branch shot out from his seat, completely shocked that he was being attacked just for doing his job.

"You didn't save my life you ruined my death!" Olive said nearly jumping out of his seat and attacking Branch. Both Branch's and Olive's lawyers had to step in and pull the two back before the two attacked each other.

"Order, Order in the court." Suki yelled slamming her gavel on the podium to settle the two sides down.

"Yep, I like this girl, I'm in love." Cooper said, Poppy just rolled her eyes and shook her head in disbelief.

"Can we hear from Mr. Increditroll's lawyer now?"

"Gladly your honor," Peppy said "And I hope you don't mind if I ask the plaintiff Olive to the stand."

"Go ahead." Suki allowed, Olive willingly walked to the stand and after taking the oath to tell the truth sat down at the stand preparing for what he knew was going to be a drilling from Peppy.

"Tell me Olive, out of all the ways to commit suicide, why choose to do it in such a public place? I mean there is many of different ways to do it at your own house without interference. You could use a gun, use a knife, you could even use your bed sheets and hang yourself from the ceiling if you want to. Why such a public place? Was it for attention? Or was you even really there to commit suicide at all?

"Objection!" Olive's lawyer shouted.

"Over ruled." Suki said

"My life sucked and I wanted to end it right then and there, not wait till I got home to a nagging wife who doesn't appreciate me or what I do. Heck she was one of the reasons I was going to go through with it. Until your client ruined everything."

"Really, cause my client has a job, and his job is to react when he see's somebody who might be in danger, not think about rather or not that somebody is trying to kill himself or not. And here's the thing, I'm not one hundred percent convinced that you even was there to kill yourself. See I think you saw Mr. Increditroll as a way to get money. I did some digging and saw that you have lost a lot of money do to gambling, fed up you decided the best way to get money is to set my client, or any other superhero up. So you climbed that tower, and once you saw Mr. Increditroll, you jumped and once Mr. Increditroll took the bait you had yourself a lawsuit and a quick way to make money!"

"Objection, clear speculation, where is the proof of this claim!"

"Your insane." Olive said

"Sustained" Suki said

"I have no further questions at this time." Peppy said going back to his seat.

The two sides continued to give their arguments for the next hour and a half. Finally Suki decided it was time to take a recess and told them to be back the following day. It was then That Cooper decided it was time to make his move.

Branch and Poppy quickly made their way back to their car. It had been a rough past couple of hours, hearing Olive's lawyer completely bash Branch and make him look like a irresponsible menace was completely sickening, and what was worse is it seemed like Suki was actually buying it. Once again all the reporters outside tried to get a response from Branch, only for Peppy to push them aside once again. Branch just wanted to get home and forget about this day. Poppy tried to be supporting and loving but at the same time she understood how Branch felt, his whole reputation was on the line here, and if they lost this case it could mean the end for him.

Once the two finally reached their car there was one friendly face walking across the street who greeted Branch, Biggie the troll who Branch helped last year get his worm out from the tree.

"It's a total shame what is happening to you Mr. Increditroll." Biggie said "Let it be known that I still support you."

"Thanks." Branch said in a sad and depressing tone. "But I fear that it won't do much good."

"People these days are just ungrateful and spoiled." Biggie said "You do one thing that they don't like and they will try to destroy you. They are to soft, to spoiled, and they will get offended from just someone looking at you wrong. They don't deserve the sacrifices you've made for them over the years Mr. Increditroll, they never did. Whatever happens I just want to let you know that everyone else may reject you. But I will always support you."

"Well at least one civilian does." Branch said as he got in his car, and drove off, deep down though he feared that Biggie was probably the only non super troll left who did support him. And that soon he who be ruined.

As Suki walked from the court room she was greeted at the court house steps by Cooper.

"May I walk you to your car madam?"

"Okay what do you want?" Suki asked crossing her arms.

"Who says I want anything?" Cooper replied

"Your a super troll and I'm the judge who holds the fate of one of your own in my hands. Your not trying to persuade my vote are you? Because it want work you know."

"Maybe, maybe not, but as a fellow super troll I do try to stand up to my kind. Tell you what, how about you and me discuss the entire thing say over dinner? I know this great place on the other side of town, very fancy, I'll buy."

"You know, you are flirting with a very dangerous woman."

"I'm a super troll, I like danger?"

"I'll admit the offer does sound attractive. But I will just come out and say it, I've never cared for you supers, I find you to be dangerous and over confident. Rushing into danger and throwing your powers around without a ounce of thought for your surroundings."

"Well maybe I can change your mind on us."

"Even if you do, do you really think it will make a difference on what the rest of the world thinks about your kind right now? Super's all across the country are being sued, and the capital is debating right now about the fate of your entire kind. Regardless of what my ruling will be, I'm just one judge in a string of hundreds of cases all across the country."

"So is that a yes or a no?"

"I'll accept your dinner offer, but be warned, it won't make a difference about the fate of your kind."

"We'll see about that darling, meet me at six at rainbow cafe. I'll be waiting for you outside."

Suki got in her car and drove off, as Cooper watched her drive off he just smiled and shook his head.

"Dang she is a wild one."

Suki went along with it, at six she drove up to the parking lot of rainbow cafe and saw Frostbite, now sporting sunglasses, a green hat and tux instead of his blue and white super suit and visor. As Suki walked up to him Cooper took her by the hand and walked her inside.

"I see that you still won't let me see your eyes."

"It's a first date dear I can't let you see my full identity yet now can I? Come on I got us a table reserved."

Cooper led Suki to their table and once they ordered and received their food the two of them started talking about themselves, about their families and interests, for the first hour it seemed like a normal date. Still there was one thing on Suki just had to know.

"Why are you interested in me Frostbite?"

"You mean besides the fact that I find you attractive?"

"I literally hold the fate of your friend in my hands. That alone would give you every reason to hate me. But here you are taking me on a date like everything is fine with the world. Why is that?

"I see you, Suki as a challenge." Frostbite said "See I'm a firm believer of the saying opposites attract. I'm a super troll and your a non super who has a very negative opinion about our kind. By society's rules we shouldn't have anything to do with each other. But I say the heck with what society wants, if one really wants something, then they should do everything in their power to get it. Sure there is several nice available female super trolls out there. But they don't possess the challenge for me. I want someone who will challenge me, some one out of my league, some one who will make me work extra hard to win them over, that way when it finally happens it will be a bigger reward to me then if I won super of the year."

"And you think I am that challenge for you?"

"As I said hon, opposites attract. It just comes down to finding the one thing that both of you have in common despite how flat out opposite you are."

"And you think you know what that one thing is?"

"You mean despite the fact that we both are beautiful? Yes, you and I both care about the well being of the public, and will do whatever it takes to bring justice to them, no matter what the rest of the world thinks or what everyone's opinion may be. We both have different opinions on how the city should should be protected. Me with my super powers and you by licensed officers, but we do both care about justice. And that is why I admire you."

"Wow," Suki said "You have a very... interesting way with words Frostbite."

"I consider it my second super power."

Apparently Cooper's words were more powerful than he realized because once dinner was over the two of them were in Cooper's car making out. Suki was laying on top of Cooper her lips locked on his and there for a little bit Cooper thought for sure that he was going to get lucky.

That is when Suki heard her phone ringing interrupting any romantic mood they were in.

"This is Suki." Suki's eyes widened and she nodded in understanding. "Gotcha, on my way to the court house now." Suki turned back to Cooper "Sorry Frostbite but I have to go. Another lawsuit has been filed against Mr. Increditroll."

"What? From who?"

"The people in the train incident." Suki said "Thanks for tonight it was really fun and I hope that we can do it again someday but I'm needed at the court house, bye."

As Suki left Cooper sat back in his car in awe and heartbreak. Saddened that his night with Suki was ruined by another lawsuit against his friend, and completely wild about how he got Suki to go heads over heels over him.

"So, this must be how Batman feels like with Catwoman." Cooper said to himself.

The next couple of weeks was a complete nightmare for Branch and the rest of the super trolls. Once the victims of the train incident filed charges the lawyers from both the train victims and Olive had all the ammunition they needed to paint Branch as careless, destructive and complete inconsiderate toward public safety. To make matters worse the general public had turned there backs on the supers they once admired. Every day during Mr. Increditroll's trial, there was protester's on the streets calling for the end of the supers. Some of the protests even got violent with people attacking supporters of the supers, leading to arrests for the attackers. The last few days of Branch's trail, security had to be increased around him due to protesters shouting vulgarities toward Branch, throwing objects and even a few trying to physically attack him there on the court house steps. Then came the news that all the supers dreaded. With all the allegations against him, Suki had no choice but to rule in favor of both Olive and the train victims. Mr. Increditroll hung his head low in defeat and Poppy put a supporting arm around his shoulder.

"We will get through this I promise."

"I don't think I am even powerful enough to overcome this." Branch said

Sadly for Branch and the other supers though, it didn't end with Branch's trial that day. After all the allegations against the Super's, congress passed the Super troll relocation act, and shut down the super troll program.

"As much as we respect what the supers has done for us over the years it is time that their era comes to a end." The president said "It is time that their secret identities become their only identities. It is time they join us or go away."

Furious Branch smashed his living room TV and chunked it out the window. Then he collapsed in his living room chair and sobbed, with Poppy wrapping her arms around him for comfort. It was over, they were ruined, the super trolls were no more.

Hope you liked it. I will try to get the next chapter on time next week. Till next time, see ya.
