To Red Witch: Hey there, Red Witch! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! Here's more for you to review when you get back. Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for new chapters of "Evolution XMJ"!
To HyperCaz: Hey there, HyperCaz! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! Yeah, it was a blast. If you want to know where Selene is currently, check out Uncanny R-Man's fic, "Uncanny Four". She's in it, although she's gone through some…changes. Enjoy the new chapter!
To mattb3671: Hey there, matt! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! Yeah, that was some chapter I wrote! In this one, Razor does some reflecting on his actions in a fic that's set in the same universe as this one. Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for new chapters of "Peace Between Humans and Mutants: Priceless"!
To The Uncanny R-Man: Hey there, R-Man! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! Yeah, Amora is in a real pickle. Well, Amora and Meggan are teammates, so it'd only be natural she'd go to them. I think Meggan would sense Amora's distress, so she would want to talk to her so if she can, she can help out. Yeah, we're going to look at the wedding crashing in "Uncanny Four" from Razor's point of view. I figured we should. After all, there's a lot of history between the parties involved. Enjoy the new chapter!
To todd fan: Hey there, todd fan! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for new chapters of "Gifts and Curses"!
To Aaron: Hey there, Aaron! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! Yeah, this event leads Razor to crash the wedding in "Uncanny Four". Yup, you got it. Morgan Le Fey sent Motorhead out and had him trick Kid Razor into believing that Selene had sent him, taking advantage of Razor's lack of knowledge about her…current whereabouts. Read "Uncanny Four" to see Razor crash the wedding. Enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter 29: Reflections of a Rockstar!
Braddock Manor, London, England
Amora, the Asgardian sorceress known as the Enchantress, sat down in the kitchen with Meggan. The two of them were talking.
"I thank thee, Meggan." Amora smiled. "Your words helped me greatly, but I am still troubled."
"Maybe you should do something for Spencer." Meggan suggested to the blonde sorceress. "Yeah, that's it. Do something for him to make up for it. Show him that you really care about him."
"Thank thee." Amora smiled. "That helped greatly." Now, how do I make it up to him?
A local hospital in Cleveland
In the hospital, Sgt. Harold Polanski was lying in a hospital bed. He was dressed in a hospital gown, and he had an IV going into his arm and an oxygen hose attached under his nose. Standing with him was his partner, Sgt. Amanda Briscoe. She looked terrible.
"How is he?" A voice asked. Briscoe looked up and saw Wendy "Thunderwing" Anderson.
"He's still in a coma." Briscoe sniffled, wiping a tear from her eye. "They're not sure if he'll make it."
"He will." Wendy reassured. "Ol' Polanski is too stubborn to quit now. He always was."
"Yeah…" Briscoe looked at Polanski with a small smile. "He was. He always tried to find some way to get Razor behind bars back in the day. Can I admit something to you?" Wendy nodded. "Well…I think Polanski and Razor respect each other."
"Huh?" Wendy blinked in confusion. She had been with the Cavaliers from the time Razor got his powers, to the time the Cavaliers themselves gained superpowers, to the time the Cavaliers moved to Miami. She had known Polanski for years, and Polanski didn't seem to respect Razor. After all, over the years, Razor's done everything to Polanski from punching him out to pulling down his pants in front of Cleveland's mayor. "I don't understand. I always got the vibe that they hated each other."
"Oh sure, they probably did…Okay, they did." Briscoe nodded. "But they were a lot alike. They're both stubborn. They both are fearless…" She looked back at the comatose officer. "…and they're both willing to lay it on the line for others."
"Ah." Wendy nodded in understanding. "I see." She sighed, brushing back her black-and-yellow hair. "Have you seen Razor?" Briscoe shook her head.
"No. Your friend Tommy did. He said Razor needed to go and think." Briscoe responded.
A nearby rooftop
On the next building over from the hospital, Kid Razor was sitting on the roof edge, looking down at the street. He was showing a rare side of himself: his contemplative side. The Fearless One was remembering some earlier actions. He returned to Cleveland to find Motorhead had attacked the city, and Polanski injured. The event infuriated Razor, and he and the Cavaliers took the demon biker down. However, Razor was pushed over the edge when Motorhead revealed Selene had sent him. Ronnie Rocker confirmed it by telling Razor he saw Selene at the Baxter Building (1), but he was suspicious. Ronnie then realizedshe was lying (at least, he thought she was lying). Razor crashed her wedding at the Baxter Building, but he was forced to back off. (2)
How could they? Razor mentally grunted. How could they forgive that old witch? After all she's done in her thousands of years?
"Penny for your thoughts?" Ronnie Rocker appeared next to Razor. The ghost sat down next to his young protégé. Razor grunted.
"Meh."
"This is about Selene, huh?" Ronnie asked. Razor nodded. "I don't blame you, kiddo. I'd still be alive if it weren't for that old hag." He then realized something. "Of course, I'd be getting ray around the temples, though. Heh heh. At least I left a good-lookin' corpse."
"Yeah, yeah." Razor muttered.
"Yeah, I wasn't too happy either, man." Ronnie explained. "I've met a lot of ghosts who became ghosts thanks to Selene. They ain't too happy either."
"How, Ronnie? How?" Razor sighed. "How could those jerks forgive Selene? After all she's done to innocent people. To me, to my friends…"
"I dunno." Ronnie shrugged. "She claimed she has reformed." The ghostly glam rocker snorted. "Yeah right. You don't be an evil sorceress for several millennia and reform overnight, contrary to popular belief!" Razor nodded.
"You know, the Kid of Rock never had a lot of respect for the other heroes." Razor admitted. "He's always thought of them as self-centered jerks."
"You know, Selene was dead once." Ronnie muttered. Razor's jaw dropped. "Yeah, Doc Doom did her in. Sent her straight to Hell. But the Ever-Lovin'-Blue-Eyed-Thing freed her ass." (3)
"WHAT?" Razor roared.
"You got that right! A lot of people in the Great Beyond are mad about it." Ronnie nodded. "Especially her victims. She left a lot of unhappy ghosts. They all had a chance at peace until ol' Benji Grimm screwed it up."
"I can imagine." Razor nodded. Ronnie smirked.
"We don't have to go to the Baxter Building." The glam rocker explained. "I've been hearing that a lot of Selene's former victims are planning to pay a visit to the FF's home. Of course, it's only a rumor."
"What can ghosts do besides scare people?" Razor scrunched his face.
"Ever seen the Poltergeist movies?" Ronnie smirked.
"Oh yeah…" Razor nodded. "Anyway, why would they forgive that old witch?"
"I dunno, Razor." Ronnie sighed. "They say she's in love with the Thing."
"The wedding obviously indicated that." Razor muttered. "Has the whole world gone nuts? I mean, the Kid of Rock always thought of the Fantastic Four as a bunch of jerkoffs, but this…this…this really takes the cake!"
"No kidding." Ronnie groaned.
"What do we do, man? What do we do?" Razor sighed. "It's not fair! She doesn't deserve redemption! Not after all the BS she's pulled over the years on me and those I care about!"
"Yeah, no kidding." Ronnie agreed. "We really need to talk to Reed."
"Why would the FF care?" Razor snapped angrily. "They never gave a damn before! They fought Selene once! And it's obvious they were willing to screw the dead of their rightful justice! I swear Ronnie, if the Kid of Rock ever sees the Fantastic Four again…there will be punches thrown."
