Chapter 12

Black Mind's Past

Angela would try hard day in and day out to face her fears, but she would always choke up when she would try and confront El Tigre, and ask him what his opinion of her was. When she wasn't trying to face her fears, she would train to get stronger, mentally and physically. She lived in the outskirts of Miracle City, it was actually a much nicer place than what it is now, but there was still just as much crime. She had a large house, similar to Casa De Mariachi; it contained a very large amount of books in her study, which she would read daily. Her own personal weight room, she had always asked one of her friends to come over and spot her when she was working out. Even though she spent practically all of her time at home in her study reading. She worked three times a week, as a librarian for the Miracle City Public Library. When she worked out she'd just do the basics for warming up; pushups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, jump roping, and going out for a two mile jog. When she would come home from her jog, she'd bench-press about 75 pounds and complete about three sets, before stopping to go and read.

Other than that she had a very simple life, but she longed for the thrilling life of being a super hero. She knew that once she became super that there was no turning back, but she accepted that fact, even the fact that she'll always have to put her life on the line to defend her city.

One day upon coming home from work, she saw that her front door was open. This wasn't a good sign, considering the fact that she always kept her house fully locked up whenever she would leave, and that she lived about two miles away from the city. She had half a mind to walk back to Miracle City and tell the police, but then again she could just tough this out on her own. She decided to listen to the more dangerous part of her mind. As Angela walked up to her house she grew nervous, but she ignored it, telling herself that this could also happen when she becomes a hero. If she ever becomes one, when she was at the door it was open so she walked inside, and turned on the lights. What she saw not only shocked her, but she became automatically nervous, because there sitting on her couch in her home was none other than her idol and crush El Tigre.

Angela did not know why her idol was in her home. She never thought that he would ever want to come to here, to this house, her house, on the outskirts of the city. Besides, she never thought of herself as pretty before, she was an average woman her close similar to Maria's, but different colors. Her shirt was red, a white skirt, and she wore green tennis shoes. She wasn't much to look at, what with her shoulder length brown hair, eyes, tan skin, and roundish oval like face (A.N. I'm gonna make a pic for reference on DA). Other than that she was just an ordinary person, wanting to be like him, her idol, and her crush. El Tigre looked up form the book he was reading; it was one of Angela's favorites, Romeo and Juliet. He smiled, as if he were expecting her.

"Hello Angela, it's very nice to finally talk face to face."

Angela was a little shocked; she'd never told him her name before. "H-hello El Tigre, this is quite a surprise. What brings you to my humble casa?"

He closed the book and placed it on the coffee table in front of him. "Oh, I was just in the neighborhood when I decided to stop by for a visit."

"Oh, is that all? I would have thought that an amazing hero or villain like you would be doing something else, instead of visiting little old me."

He chuckled lightly. "Like what Angela?"

Angela looked down trying to fight off a blush, "Well stopping crime, or committing crime."

He smiled, and then he got up and walked over to her. He grabbed a stray strand of her hair that was out of place, and placed it behind her ear. "That's better."

Angela could fight it off no longer; her face was as red as a tomato. El Tigre just chuckled again.

"My good friend Charmcaster tells me a lot about you Angela." She looked up at him, and her face was now redder than before. "He tells me that you idolize me, and that you actually have feelings for me."

Angela couldn't stand it, him here with her and just well talking, it was just too much. She had to get away, but to where, he was here and she has no where to go. So she just looked away from his gaze.

El Tigre frowned; he took his thumb and placed it under her chin, then raised her head up so they could see each other eye to eye. "Look Angela, he also told me that you also fear my judgment. What I think of you, what others think you, I'm here to tell you that I don't think there is another person on the face of the Earth who is anything like you. And that you want to be like me, a hero, but I… please just stay away from me if you know what's good for you Angela."

She was confused. "What do you mean stay away from you? I don't understand."

He sighed. "Angela soon, too soon, I must leave the city and I need you to protect it in my absence." She was about to ask why, but he stopped her. "I know it's all confusing right now, but please trust me. It is better if you don't know all of the details yet, but I want you to know this you would make a very unique hero."

Angela started crying, no one has ever said anything so nice to her before. "Thank you."

"Your welcome now you must remember this Angela, no one and I mean no one can tell you what you can or can't do." He then pulled her up into a kiss; they kissed with such a beautiful passion. When they parted he was about to leave when, "Also tell my good friend Charmcaster that I see you worthy for a mystical object of power, and give him this." He tossed her a sealed envelope. "Tell him to open that when things start to change."

She nodded. Before he started to leave again, "Wait," he turned around.

"Yes?"

"Will I ever see you again?"

He smiled, "When the time is right then yes we will see each other again. And Angela,"

"Yes?"

"Promise me that you will never change."

She smiled, "Yes, I promise."

He then left in to the endless dessert, his long cape-like bandanna flowing freely in the wind, never to return again. Angela looked at the envelope in her hands, and smiled. 'Whatever this says it's probably important, I'd better take this to Charmcaster right away.' She headed off in the direction of the Miracle City volcano, Charmcaster likes to live where people hardly ever go. She locked her house up again before she left to see Charmcaster. She was right in front of the large M on the volcano, she tapped her hand on the M and then a door came from nowhere. She entered it, and once she was inside the mysterious door had closed. Then there was a sudden blinding bright light that came from something unknown. The light faded, and Angela could see Charmcaster sitting in a green reclining chair looking over something. She was nervous, but she was here for a reason. Charmcaster looked up from what he was doing, and smiled at her.

"Nice to see you again Angela, how have you been."

"Fine, what about you, how are you Charmcaster." She didn't like where this was going.

"Same as always, you look quite lovely in this lighting." He actually had an evil grin on his face, that's when Angela had realized too late that it was a trap for her. She decided to try and remain calm, to try and make it out of this without doing anything to rash.

"I'm sorry to disturb you Charmcaster, please excuse me and I won't bother you for a while. I promise." She stood her ground to show no signs of distrust.

"No, no trouble at all Angela. Actually I wanted to ask you a few questions, if your not to busy." He folded his hands across his lap.

"No, no trouble at all, go ahead and ask away then Charmcaster."

He smiled, "Alright then, you were exactly where two hours ago?"

"At work, it was the end of another usual day, nothing new at all had happened."

"And nothing had happened to you on your way back home?"

"No, nothing at all why do you ask Charmcaster?"

"Oh, just curious that's all. Now when you arrived home, what made you want to come here to visit me?"

"Oh, no reason at all, just the usual me begging you to make me a mystical object of power so I can be super and fight along side my idol and crush. Why would you ask such an obvious question?" She did secretly enjoy it when it was easy for her to tell a lie, without showing any signs of stress.

"Oh just wondering if you had something you wanted to tell me, like oh say what's in that particular envelope your holding?" He raised an eyebrow.

She looked at the envelope still in her hands, and smiled. "You mean this little thing; this is just a package that was delivered to me while I was at work. Nothing more, now if you'll excuse me I really must get going." She turned around and headed towards the door. The lights then suddenly flashed off and something or someone had grabbed her. Her hands were bound behind her back and she could feel something strapping her to the recliner. Once the lights were on, she saw that it wasn't Charmcaster to whom she was talking to, instead it was one of the protectors; those who are too keep the peace between good and evil. She gasped, Angela had known that all of the protectors did not trust or even approve of her idols decision; they didn't like him because he could not decide whether to be a hero or villain.

"Who are you, why are you here and where is Charmcaster?!" Angela shouted at the imposter.

He just smiled at her, "I'm sorry Angela, but I'm afraid you already know too much."

"What are you talking…?" She was cut short from being hit upside the head.

When she awoke, Angela was in a container, one used for experiments. She grew scared, wondering what they would do to her. She could see a table, with her close on it, the envelope that El Tigre gave her, and one weird looking pendant. The pendant was a crimson color with a golden yellow chain holding it. She then realized from her close being on the table that she was naked. Ignoring that, she tried to find out where the hell she was, she looked around the room other than the table and large steel door there wasn't much in the room. Before she could think about this, two men in black robes had entered the room, and they were apparently talking about something or someone; the tall brown haired guy looked like he was shouting, pointing from the wired looking pendant to her. The other man, who was a few inches shorter than the brown haired man, looked like he was disagreeing with what looked like his partner; he was shaking his head for some reason.

This lasted for about ten minuets, before another man in a black robe, he was different from the other two, he almost seemed familiar to Angela, but she ignored it. The third man, moved towards the table, he grabbed the pendant off the table and then he walked over to her. There was a keypad to the side of the glass container, the man punched in the numbers 901935, and the container opened.

Angela was scared; she didn't know what was gonna happen or what the hell was going on. Then the man who had just come in held the pendant up to her.

"Take it, it's yours." He told her.

She looked at the pendant and then at the man. "W-why should I?"

"Look, lady just put the damn pendant on already!" The brown haired man yelled at her. The shorter man nodded his head in agreement to the first man's words.

Then the man standing in front of Angela turned his head around and gave a death glare to the two behind him. "Please ignore my partners rude comments miss, now I will ask you once more, please take the pendant."

She looked at the pendant then back at the men in front of her. She nodded and took the pendant from his hand, and put it on. "Now what, I don't think I should be wearing this."

"Nonsense madam, you are the one and only one who can ever whiled that lovely pendant." The man in front of her assured her.

"But what can it do?" She didn't feel ready for this, not yet anyway.

"Oh it can do infinitely many things my dear, all you need to do is think about it and then it shall happen." The short man told her, and a grin was stretched across his face.

She gave him a 'yeah right' look. "You don't believe me, then try it out for yourself, think of lifting up that table, and it shall happen."

She looked at him again, and sighed in defeat. She concentrated on lifting the table in the air, and then it happened, she was impressed as were the three men in the room. Then she had a surprisingly evil thought, she then threw the table at the man who had yelled at her. And she smiled in pure evil joy; the other two men were in shock they had just witnessed the possible death of their partner. Then as if she couldn't help herself Angela was laughing like a crazy person, for she had now become the one thing that she has always wanted to stop, she was a super villain. Then in a puff of black smoke Angela and her close were gone.

The two men stared at each other, and they both gulped. "What have we done." They both whispered in synchronization.

Angela had soon found herself back at her home, still naked, with her close in her hands. She opened the door with ease, and walked inside her casa. She placed her close on the couch and went upstairs to get some new close for her new powers, which even thought they were evil powers, she liked them. Once she was in the bathroom she looked at herself and was upset by what she saw, so she decided that it was time for a makeover.


One hour later…. …. ….


She was finished with her new look, and she liked it. She now had black hair, a black silk dress that went down to her thighs, with matching black silk gloves that went up to her elbows, and black leather boots that came up to her knees. She began to think about what would be next, she thought about this on her way down the stairs to the front doors.

Once she was there, she saw Charmcaster, and no fake Charmcaster this time, he was the real deal. She smiled quickly, but her smile soon vanished with hate and anger taking its place. He looked up at her and smiled, but his smile soon faded when he saw the anger and hatred on her face, then he saw the pendant around her neck, and he was now extremely worried about her. That pendant that she is wearing was forged from pure essence of evil, anyone who puts on the pendant shall immediately turn evil, no questions asked, and the longer you wore the pendant the more evil you would become.

"Oh, oh Angela what happened to you?" He sounded so sad for her, she didn't care.

"What happened, what happened, I have my own powers now and I like it." She was already changing.

"Angela please listen to me, you have to take that pendant off, now, its turning you into a villain. Is that what you want, Angela, to become a villain, is it?!" He didn't want to lose her to the pendant, funny thing about it, some how it knows about Riveras that shall come into the world, and it already hates them, probably because of the Original El Tigre not deciding. Anyway, he has to get that pendant off of her before it's too late.

"Why should I, I've never felt more alive I like this and no one will ever take this away from me, not even those God damn Riveras." She pulled her head back and let out one amazing evil laugh.

Charmcaster knew it then and there, that the old Angela was gone and now only this thing remained. "No, no Angela please you must stop this."

She just laughed in his face. "Stop what? How happy I am, how much I love this feeling of power coursing through me, how I will never stop existing till the day a female shall be born of an El Tigre's blood. I shall never stop living; I shall never leave this world till I chose my time to come."

He watched her cross the floor in front of him, he was afraid of this happening; he should have destroyed that pendant years ago when he had the chance. "I'm sorry Angela…" He was cut short by her new crimson eyes staring strait at him.

"I will no longer be known as Angela; from now on you and every other pathetic hero in the world will come to know me as the one and only Black Mind. For Angela is now no more." She lifted up her hand and the pendant began to glow, and Charmcaster was suddenly floating in midair. Then he was literally thrown out of her casa, but not without a souvenir, he grabbed her Rome and Juliet book that was on the coffee table.

"Oh, Angela, I swear upon my life that I will find a way to bring you back to us." Charmcaster whispered to himself as he tried to get up from the ground, she'd thrown him pretty hard, but he didn't care, he swore that he'd find a way, and so he shall.

Over the years Angela had become more and more in tune with her powers, and as the years past, she had been growing in strength as well. Also she had tried to destroy the Rivera family constantly, like every other decade or so, and every time she would fail, but she never was truly gone, she just stored her life-force energy within the pendant. Once she was strong enough to take a solid form again, then she would attack. Her fighting style was unique, she would just think about oh say lifting up a table or something like that and it would happen. She dose start fights the fun way though, making her enemies think that they can maneuver around all of her moves, when they end up falling into a trap. But if she happens to be fighting a Rivera, then she fights in a completely different style, she'd make it more fun for her, toying with the Rivera she would happen to be facing. Then once she'd become bored, then she would finish try and end the Rivera's life who she was facing, only to be defeated instead.

One of the things that she likes about her powers is that she could be deep in thought and in a battle at the same time and all her body would be doing is just avoiding any attacks.


Back in reality……………


Black Minds body was avoiding every attack that the Riveras threw at her. She then came out of her thoughts when The Mighty Cheetar almost hit her with one of his cannon balls, she avoided it with ease. She looked around quickly, and she saw that they were no longer in the Marina; in fact they were directly in the outskirts of the city, two miles to be exact.

"Are you surprised by the new surroundings Black Mind, or should I call you Angela?" A mysterious voice called.

The voice was very familiar to everyone, even to Black Mind.

"Who are you, show yourself." Black Mind demanded.

"Oh come now Angela, are actually telling me you don't remember who I am?" The voice replied sarcastically.

"Why do you call me that I don't know anyone by the name of Angela, I am Black Mind, and I'll ask once again WHO ARE YOU!!?"

"Calm your self Angela, why don't you just turn around and your question shall be answered."

She did so and to her surprise it was her old friend from almost a past life, Charmcaster.


Well there you have it that is Black Minds past, and FYI the whole female Rivera born of an El Tigre's blood is that the pendant can only tell when a male hero or villain is born in the Rivera family.

And since there has never been a female Rivera, except for Jeanette, it can't see when an El Tigre will be born and what its choice will be, its the one thing that the pendant hates. Other than the Rivera family.

And I might change things up in the next chapter (shrug), oh and the Protectors aren't really fan characters there just random people who i created for fun. So they won't have any names, just looks to tell one from another. (I'm too lazy to make names up XP)

Well till my next chapter :)
