Chapter 25: A little Light-hearted Humor

The Mighty Avengers, with the exception of Iron Man, were meeting in the Titans East Mansion in New York. Along with them are Batman and Superman. At Farrah's insistence, she wanted the Avengers back at the Mansion because she did not want them to find out about the Watchtower. Almost immediately, the tension between the two groups, especially between Ms. Marvel and Farrah, was present in an all out screaming match.

"You set my hair on fire!"

"You got my boyfriend killed!"

"It was an accident!"

"No, you having brain cells, Barbie! That's an accident!"

The white-haired feline and the blonde bombshell stared each other down, going nose to nose. It was clear these two did not like each other.

Diablos asked Tigra,

"What is it with those two?"

The striped were-tiger sighed,

"It's been like that since she joined up. Farrah has an extreme jealous streak, and always thought Carol was out to steal Leon away from Farrah."

Wonder Man shook his head, smirking,

"Those two have had some serious brawls, like the time Carol got that birthday gift from Leon?" (1)

Tigra smirked,

"I know what you mean. Or that time…"

Flashback, Marvel Earth 616.01, Avengers Mansion, one year after joining…

Leon and Farrah were walking in the Mansion, looking at the various photos of past incarnations. The red-eyed hero stopped and looked at the founding line up of the Avengers. He shook his head,

"It's hard to believe that it grew from these five."
Farrah looked and noticed Carol studying the new arrival. Instantly, she screeched,

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!"

She charged right into her, an all out cat-fight erupted.

Leon sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose,

"This can't get any worse."
Hawkeye and Thor walk by, hearing the commotion. The God of Thunder said,

"Friend Clint, our allies art fighting amongst each other."
The purple archer grinned and, setting up two beach chairs and a camera, began recording the fight. Leon groaned,

"It just got worse."
He addressed the two,

"You do realize that, once this tape hits the outside world, they will kill you."
Hawkeye laughed, then dead silence as two pairs of irate eyes stared at him and Thor. Farrah roared,

"GET THEM!"
The two women started chasing them across the mansion. Leon shook his head,

"I tried to warn them."
DC Earth 1.2, Present day…

Wonder Girl scratched her head,

"Wow, I didn't know she was THAT overprotective."
Sentry and Ares also heard the story, but never thought it to be true, until now.

Carol pointed her finger at the were-feline,

"Lady, in case you forgot, you're still a wanted fugitive! You act like it's our fault, when we both know it's not!"

Farrah shot back,

"It is your fault! Of course, with only three brain cells, it would be hard for you to understand that!"

Carol shook her head,

"You don't know what happened after you were gone. A lot happened, things I had to do. I bent over backwards for my team."

Persiana snarled back,

"Trust me, you bending over backwards is nothing new. Tony Stark will attest to that."
Ms. Marvel growled,

"You know, I never knew what Leon saw in you. You're a self-centered, hormonal, out of control little girl who wants the whole world to feel sorry for you."

Persiana retorted, raising her voice,

"I don't want the whole world to feel sorry for me! I want the world to understand that being a hero isn't something to be politically tainted! If you want to be a government pawn, fine! You're a soldier! It's easy for you to just blindly obey someone! For me, it's about being free to decide what I want to do with my life!"

Carol raised her arms in frustration,

"You know, now that I think about it, you're the exact reason registration exists! How many years did you get away with your antics?! You're just angry it's come back to bite you in the ass!"

Farrah smiled darkly,

"Speaking from experience, Barbie? The guys in the Air Force would definitely agree!"
Carol's eyes widened and, clenching her fist, shouted,

"DIE, BITCH!"
The two started rolling on the floor, engaged in a cat-fight. Tigra rolled her eyes,

"It had to happen again. I swear, someday, that girl will be the death of me."

Sentry raised his hand concernedly,

"Shouldn't we try and break them up?"
Outside, the ruckus had alerted some members of Titans East. Roy Harper and Superboy were running in, armed with a video camera. Connor whopped,

"Whoa! Super hero cat fight!"

Persiana yanked on Carol's hair, ripping a clump of it out. Enraged, Ms. Marvel slapped her opponent in the face. It was a momentary pause, and Persiana was soon on the offensive again, swiping with her claws. Connor crowed,

"I got fifty on the blonde. What do you think, Roy?"

The archer was busy taping Tigra,

"In a sec."
He looked her up and down with the camera. The bikini clad were-tigress snarled,

"Get that camera outta here."
She flashed her claws and hissed. Speedy swallowed,

"Uh, hi. I'll go over here now."
He turned around and a stray punch from Carol caught him. He was knocked for the count and his camera fell to the floor. The Teen of Steel shouted,

"NO!"

He used his speed and snatched the camera at the last minute. Picking it up, he started taping the fight.

Diablos rolled his eyes and, using his powers, destroyed the camera. Connor shouted skyward,

"WHY DO YOU HATE ME, GOD?"
He then snapped his fingers at an idea. Strutting up to the feline Avenger, he flashed a smile,

"Hey, gorgeous."

"Connor!"
Instantly, the young clone eyes popped open in fear and he turned slowly.

Supergirl glared at him. She said,

"Do you have this much respect for women? Honestly."
She then looked at Wonder Man and sighed dreamily,

"My hero."
Wonder Man gave her a quizzical look, and then was tackled by the Maiden of Might. Sentry looked at Superman,

"Is it always this bad?"

The Man of Steel rolled his eyes,

"Not really."

He shouted,

"Kara, get off of him!"

Batman, Ares, and Diablos all blinked. The red-eyed hero asked,

"Are you sure you want to go over the briefing now, or when things settle down?"

The God of War sat back in a chair,

"Personally, I prefer this."

Wonder Girl smirked,

"You may be a deity of war, but I can agree on one point; it is definitely worth watching."
Diablos blinked,

"I don't know what I should be surprised at; my girlfriend's antics, the fact that an Amazon and one of her most hated enemies are actually getting along, or that I have another woman interested in Farrah."

Batman stayed stoic; he knew this was not going to be easy.
