The Uncanny Kid Razor
To Red Witch: Hey there, Red! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! Actually, Selene is no longer the Black Queen in the URM-Verse. In "Uncanny Four", she reformed and is now married to Ben Grimm. Morgan Le Fey is the new Black Queen. Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for new chapters of "Evolution XMJ"!
To Aaron: Hey there, Aaron! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! Actually, it's not that simple. Morgan Le Fey put a big wrinkle on it. This is more than just simply an overblown disagreement between the "Local Heroes" and the "New York Heroes". Spencer and Eugene are becoming good running buddies. They're in the vein of Flash and ElongatedMan. 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! I read the new chapter of "Fourteenth Century Man" and I loved it! Wanda's an awesome blacksmith, and Forge getting knocked around is funny. Enjoy the new chapter, and I can hardly wait for new chapters of "Fourteenth Century Man", "Mutants Make Good Cowboys", and "Gifts and Curses"!
To mattb3671: Hey there, matt! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! Actually, it's not quite Ben Grimm who is attacking Kid Razor…Enjoy the new chapter!
To The Uncanny R-Man: Hey there, R-Man! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! Oh yeah, we'll see what happens next with the local heroes. As far as Amora is concerned, you'll see her soon. Enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter 38: Hero Brawl!
West Coast Avengers HQ, Malibu, California
"La la la la la laaaa…" The orange-furred black-bikini-wearing superheroine called Tigra happily sang as she skipped down the hall. She skipped into the living room where she noticed Angelica Jones, the red-haired heat-wielder called Firestar, and James Rhodes, the armor-wearing hero called War Machine. They were watching television.
"Hey Greer." Angelica smiled at her friend.
"Hey, Tigra." James waved. "Why're you so happy?"
"Vincey is gonna take me out to dinner at that Indian restaurant downtown!" Tigra squealed.
"That's great!" Angelica grinned. "Vance and I were planning to go there tonight as well. We can have a double date!"
"Alright!" Tigra whooped, hi-fiving Angelica.
"We interrupt this program for a special report…" The television interrupted.
"Hey pipe down, you two." James told the two super-powered women.
"Seattle has been rocked today when one of the West Coast Avengers, the armored powerhouse known as War Machine, mysteriously attacked Seattle's local superhero, Winger." The television then started to air footage taken in Seattle of Winger and War Machine. "The self-proclaimed "King of the Skies", Winger has protected Seattle since the…"
"That's impossible!" James exclaimed in shock. "I've never even been to Seattle!"
"And why would want to fight Winger?" Tigra blinked. "He's one of the local heroes."
"Yeah." Angelica nodded. "Nice kid. A little nuts, but he is a nice kid."
"There's always been a somewhat form of tension between the local heroes and the 'New York Heroes'." Tigra explained. "A lot of those local heroes come from cities that never have been visited by the likes of the Avengers. And some of those cities have super-powered populations."
"Like Cleveland." Angelica nodded. "And when there are problems with those superpowered folks, and the New York heroes can't help…"
"They end up on their own." James nodded. "Some of those cities get pretty ticked off about it. And when they get their own superheroes at last, they tend to take a very bad attitude towards New York heroes."
"From Razor, yeah." Angelica nodded.
"Don't get me started on him!" Tigra grumbled, crossing her arms.
"From Razor, you get that, but I never noticed it really from any of the other local heroes." Angelica finished. "I think they're great to have. They protect the places we and the others can't get to easily. It takes time for us to get to those places."
KABOOM!
"AIEEE!" The three yelled out as the wall exploded. What appeared to be a very very very ticked off Winger floated into the room.
"Hey War Machine, I bet you got a good laugh out of the little punk-out back in Seattle. Well, here's payback, punk!"
Cleveland, Ohio
"Hey, Grimm! Have a drink on me!" Kid Razor snapped as he turned a hose on the Thing. The two heroes were brawling in the middle of the Cleveland Mall.
"AGH GLUG GLUG!" Ben yelled. The jet of water was able to push back the rock-skinned powerhouse slightly. "You punk!"
"Yeah, we all know what I think of your wife, jerkoff!" Razor cracked. He threw down the hose, and made a "come on" gesture. "Come on, you slate-skinned son of a…" Ben slammed into Razor like a football tackle. He was able to catch Razor in a bearhug. Razor screamed. His physical invulnerability prevented the Thing from crushing him, but it still hurt like a mother.
"Come on, ya little loudmouth!" Ben challenged. "Run yer mouth! Let's hear what witty remarks ya got about me an' my wife!"
"Your…wife…is…an…old…WITCH!" Razor snarled, eyes glowing with the Power of Rock. His head started to glow with the Power of Rock. Razor nailed Ben with a Power of Rock-charged headbutt. It forced Ben to release the young rocker. But Razor was knocked for a loop.
"Man, that was like headbutting concrete." Razor mumbled to himself. He looked at Ben and growled. "You say I'm a loudmouth jerk? RAH!" Razor blasted Ben with a Power of Rock beam from his guitar. "The Kid of Rock wasn't the one who denied thousands of murdered souls their justice, you self-centered jackass!" The Kid of Rock thinks something is wrong here. Why would the Thing come to Cleveland by himself just to pick a fight with the Kid of Rock? Razor shrugged. Ah, it don't matter. The Kid of Rock owes that jerk a pounding. Thanks to him, Selene's victims lost their rightful vengeance. And the Kid of Rock aims to make sure they get it!
Avengers Mansion, New York
Hank Pym, aka Yellowjacket, whistled happily as he flipped over a couple burgers on a grill. Earth's Mightiest Heroes were enjoying a nice peaceful day by the pool. They were intent on enjoying this day, as days like this were rare in the superhero life.
"Ah, nothing like a nice barbeque on a great sunny day." Hank grinned.
"I agree…" Janet Van Dyne, aka the Wasp, nodded with a smile as she walked out to the grill. She put a plate full of burger buns and hot dog buns on the little shelf built into the grill. "It's a rarity that we can enjoy time like this."
"CANNONBALL!" Simon Williams, aka Wonder Man, crowed as he bounced off the diving board and cannonballed into the pool. "YEAH! WHO DA MAN?"
"SIMON!" The voice of Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, howled. "You drained the water out of the pool again!"
"Uh, heh heh…oops?" Simon chuckled nervously.
"He's got the maturity of an eight-year-old." Hank shook his head with a smile. Wasp laughed.
"Cut him some slack, Hank. He's Hollywood." Wasp chuckled.
"Nice work, bonehead." A tanning She-Hulk teased.
"Ahhh, shaddap." Wonder Man pouted playfully.
"Looks like we'll have to refill the pool again." Cap chuckled.
"AUGH!" Tony Stark ran by, being chased by Lady Helen. "Lemme alone, ya crazy Brit!"
"Come 'ere, ya sexy beast!" Lady Helen squealed.
"She knows what she wants." Wonder Man chuckled. The Avengers' fun was interrupted by two sonic blasts. The beams of blue sonic energy hit the ground in front of the relaxing Avengers. The heroes turned and saw an incensed Sonic Blue standing there, pointing his glowing gauntlets at them. An equally ticked Frog-Man was right next to him.
"Spencer?" She-Hulk blinked. "What's with the AGH!" Sonic Blue blasted her with a sonic beam, knocking her into a wall.
"Put the local heroes out of business, huh?" Spencer snarled at the Avengers. "I like to see you all try!"
Next: This Is Ridiculous! The New York and Local Heroes battle each other in their hometowns under the watchful eye of Morgan Le Fey. But are the two groups of heroes really fighting each other?
