Is wasn't very long since Luan's own act caused Lucy's powers to be revealed to the entire family. Only for her run from the family in fear. The family decides to go on a search for her by splitting into groups, Lynn Sr.'s group will ask around the neighborhood to see if anyone had seen where she went, while Rita's group will head off a police station to file a report for a missing child. Once Rita group had enter Vansilla, she drives off to a station while Lynn Sr.'s begins ask around the neighborhood. They ask Mr. Grouse which responds of not having seen her and not really bothering to know. They even ask the McBride's if they seen her but they haven't, even during the talk Clyde then caught a glimpse of Lori and soon being to act like a robot and pass out. His dads then picked up his body and begins to take him back to his room. They haven't had any luck with finding any trace of Lucy. But they weren't willing to give up.
Lynn Sr.: Alright family, we're not having any luck with finding Lucy, but we're not giving up. Let's keep asking around.
Everyone: (In unison) Okay!
Meanwhile, Rita's group were heading there way to the police station. As they head to a stop, Leni breaks the long silence by asking everyone this.
Leni: Doesn't anyone want to ask, what's happened to Lucy and why did she runaway from us when she showed us her strange look?
Rita: No Leni, in fact, we don't know how or why she's like that, but all I can think of is that she must've not wanted any of us to know about and she must've been scared to tell us it.
Lincoln: I still can't believe what happened just minutes ago, never thought Lucy would be hiding something that strange to us.
Lynn: No kidding. Even bonking with her for years, I never thought something was up with her. It also explains why we a cold breeze anytime we're near her.
Lincoln then noticed that Luan seemed to looked very upset.
Lincoln: Luan, are you feeling alright?
Luan: Oh I don't know, after playing around with fire and water which as effects towards ice, and having Lucy be my volunteer when she happens to have a secret that no one should know of, only for me to unintentionally expose it to all of us! Yeah, I'm feeling alright Lincoln! I'M REALLY FEELING IT!
Luan said with a tone of aggression.
Rita: Luan! Don't yell at your brother! He only wanted know if you're feeling alright!
Luan: Sorry! I just feel bad! It's all my fault. I ended up exposing Lucy secret to all of us when I wasn't trying to. And now she's run off from us because of how we saw her in her secret look!
Lincoln: It's alright Luan. We all know you didn't know, even all of us never knew, but we need to remain hopeful that Lucy's doing alright and hope we find her soon.
Rita: Lincoln's right, we need to remain optimistic about this. Lucy will be fine. We need to show her that.
Lynn: You got that right, Mom.
Leni: Okay. But can I ask something, Luan?
Luan turns her attention to Leni.
Leni: Why did you decide to do magic tricks with Lucy that involved fire and water.
Luan: Well in truth, Lola asked me to perform a magic show with water and fire and have Lucy be my volunteer.
Leni: Really? Lola why did you asked Luan to do it?
Lola: What? Lucy could use the outgoing. She's always hiding away in the dark most of the time.
Lynn hears Lola excuse, only for her to then think more about it, until realizing something, she remembers that after Lucy's hidden form was revealed to everyone, Lola shouted out, "I knew it! Lucy had superpowers all this time! And she's the Ice Princess!" That made her believe that along Lola knew Lucy was hiding this secret and she had Luan plan out the entire magic show using fire and water to get Lucy's secret exposed to everyone. She quickly turned her attention towards the selfish princess.
Lynn: Wait, I remember when Lucy secret was shown to us you said you knew that she was the Ice Princess. And if what Luan said is true that you asked her to do a magic show that had involved fire and water, then you planned this whole thing just to get Lucy's powers to get exposed to us all!
Everyone seemed confused until they pieced the places together.
Lincoln: You know what, Lynn might be right. Remember when Lola kept saying that Lucy's been acting very weirder than what she usually was like talking to ghost while looking at a puddle.
Leni: Saying she's been sneaking out of the house at midnight.
Lynn: You did know earlier that Lucy was hiding her powers from us along! And you had Luan set up that whole magic act with fire and water just to get Lucy's powers exposed to us all!
Pretty soon, everyone in Vansilla started to believe it all.
Luan: You're right Lynn, I can't believe you tricked me into getting Lucy's secret out to all of us!
Lola: Hey, I had to! This was way too good to not expose.
Lynn: I can't believe you'd say something like that?! We always knew you a tattle taler and we trusted that you wouldn't tattle on us ever again, but now you gone a done exposed Lucy's powers. She was trying to hide it from us, and you made her runaway in fear from us seeing her like that! How could you do something like this and not feel bad about it?!
Leni: Like, Lynn's right! Do you not know how hurtful doing something like that really is?
Lily: Wola, mean!
Leni: Even Lily agrees!
Lola: Lucy's been hiding something like this from us and has been using it to make herself be a hero!
Lincoln: Yeah, we aren't buying that Lola. The real reason you did this was because you have and always been a tattletale!
Lynn: You promised you wouldn't tattle an any of us anymore, and we even trusted you. But now you've gone and tattled on Lucy and got her runaway in fear from us!
Leni: Can't you like, ever see how gossiping and tattling can be hurtful those who are keeping personal secrets like and having others gossip it to other people?
Lola: So what?
Upon that moment, Rita gets very furious at her selfish princess twin daughter that she slammed her fist at the counter in front of the wheel as the loud sound startled everyone in Vansilla, including Lola. Upon stopping Vansilla, Rita turned to face Lola with the furious look on her face.
Rita: Lola, I have had enough of your selfish behavior! Do you not realize what you just did to your own sister?! You up and had Luan do this magic show to get Lucy to be her volunteer only for her to get Lucy's secret powers out in front of us all! Now she's run off from us all in complete fear of her exposure to us, and all you can think of is your own self! Do you not know what would happen to her after what you did to her?! She go missing, get kidnapped or even worse...
Rita couldn't be able to finish that because it would cause her to remember a certain event that had happened before, to a certain someone that could've happened to them if they didn't do anything before it was too late.
Rita: ...My point is that you never bother taking consideration to your own siblings! Me and father take awareness of your tattle tailing but this time, you've gone too far missy! You are big trouble young lady! By the end of today, your father and I will think of your punishment for this! And for your own sake's, you better hope that we find Lucy... alright!
Lola was so petrified, that she didn't have the will to talk back to her own mother. Rita then back to face the road headed. The rest of the gang then continues to talk about whatever else Lola has said to them about Lucy's powers.
Leni: Is there anything else Lola had said about Lucy's secret that we don't know?
Lynn: Oh, I remember hearing her say that Lucy's also been hanging around with a strange guy who wear a machine suit.
Rita: Strange guy?
Lola managed to build up courage to speak.
Lola: Well, he's this weirdo with a bad hippy beard and he seems like owns a big station place.
Before Lola could continue, her mother interrupts her, still bitter at her.
Rita: Okay, Lola I can answer that. Lucy applied for Stark Industry and she got accepted. He even came by our house to talk about the internship she applied for.
Lincoln: Wait, Tony Stark actually came to our house?! When was it, and why weren't we told of it?!
Lynn: Wow Stinkcoln, are actually starting to fanboy over a man who just owns a famous tech industry?
Lincoln: He's not "just" a billionaire who owns a company, he's also well-known as one of the leaders of The Avengers and being know as Iron Man!
Leni: Wait, the guy who owns that company Lucy's applying for is like, really made of iron?
Lincoln: No Leni, he's not really made of iron, he suits himself up into an armor with crazy gadgets that could totally wreak anyone who causes trouble.
Leni: Okay, but like, why does he wear that and what's an Avengers?
Lincoln: It's this group of superpower heroes that goes out to save our world from very dangerous threats! Tony Stark happens to be a member-no, one of the leaders of the Avengers! Although half of the team broke up, he still continues to lead the Avengers.
Rita: Is that really true, Lincoln?
Lincoln: Yes, it is!
Lola: Well, if he is that, then does that explain why he took Lucy to New York and said something about joining the team?
Upon hearing that, Rita froze in her tracks from hearing Lola say that. She then started believing that he must've used the excuse of her applying for his industry was only a cover up to get closer to Lucy's powers.
Lincoln: Tony Stark asked Lucy to join The Avengers?!
Lynn: Did she actually take the offer?!
Before any of them could ask any other questions, Rita quites everyone down.
Rita: Kids! Quite! Lola, is this really true what you are saying?
Lola: Yes.
Rita: Kids, after we finish filling out Lucy's disappearance, we going straight to Mr. Stark's facility around town, I'm gonna have a nice talk with him.
Lynn: Oh man, he's gonna have been very world of trouble too.
Meanwhile around the woods, Lucy hurriedly runs pass bushes, trees and rocks as she arrives at her typical hiding spot and sits down close to the stream of the water as she shakes from the events that had happened earlier. She never could believe that her secret she was trying to hide from her entire family ended up getting exposed from a magic act. She wished that she was on alert when Lola was catching on with her secret. Now, she's filled with lots of fear that she couldn't bear thought of being around her entire family now that they've seen her in her Blade form. She tries to clam herself down but she still continues to shake in fear as she too is breathing from fright. Then, she felt a hand stroking the back of her hair. She looks to the left as she spots Fiora right beside her stroking her hair.
Fiora: That must have been, a very dramatic experience.
Lucy: Y-you would know.
Fiora: Please try to relax, there is no need to be too strain to yourself.
Lucy: I can't! My secret I promised to hide by 'their' request got exposed to my entire family. They looked at me with complete shock of what I now become! I-I can't bear the sight of how they looked at me like this!
Fiora: They only looked at you that way was only because they were surprised. Shulk and Taylor made you promise that you would never disclose of this to anyone, in reality we would have to kill those who discovered your secret and or punish you for being careless, but the two chooses not to harm any of those you care and matters to you, even if they discover your powers they both choose not to kill them. You wonder why?
Lucy nods her head.
Fiora: They both care about you. Though they watch over you to make sure you do not try anything that would make them believe you are turning against them, and they placed the crystal into your chest as your punishment for talking to them, they only wish is for you to continue your existence the same as it always was before your encounter with them.
Lucy was awed by what Fiora told her. Throughout the entire time Shulk and Taylor not only they just watched over how she was doing but also watched how her she was was handling everything with her life. And making sure she was enjoying herself with her new life.
Lucy: I... never knew that. I never thought they actually cared about my safety and wanted me to still enjoy myself the same way as I always had been even before having this power.
Fiora: We might be scary demons but we are not cruel or truly monsters. Shulk and Taylor uses their swords to destroy any of our kind that tries to renter the mortal world by those who comes close to contacting us demons. They were willing to let you go by accepting a decision that would change your existence forever. And you showed you really care and it is not for selfishness or lust. We see now that you a good child with a soul of light. And we love you very much.
Lucy felt very warm inside herself that she felt now was love for her demon masters. Fiora then offered her a hug and Lucy come over and accept the hug. Fiora removed her hat to show her head that it had a tied up lace on her head. She strokes her hair which make her really enjoy it as she blushes. After a short while, the two breaks apart as Lucy puts back her hat.
Fiora: Now why don't you head back. Not only are your family are shocked by their witness of your form, but they must be worried about you.
Lucy: I know that. But I kinda scared on... explaining them... all of this.
Fiora: Do not worry, we will be you to explain as well. And we will inform your selfish sister that for tattling onto you and exposing your secret to your family will earn you a punishment from us.
Lucy: Wait, really?! Please don't kill her. As much as a pain Lola is, she's still my sister.
Fiora: (chuckles) Relax, if you really didn't want her around anymore, we would really eliminate her but knowing you still care for her and it would really lead you to a painful life we would not do this to you.
Lucy: Thank you.
Lucy now heads back home as Fiora watches. Once she was out of sight, Shulk appears next to her.
Fiora: Are you we should have send her back home. You said the vision both of you seen would then lead her to this terrible experience.
Shulk: I know, but the vision also shown us that it would later lead her to a better placement for herself and her family. Though we are leading her to this, we hope for a better future for her.
Fiora: All right, but please help her when she needs the assistance.
Shulk: We will.
At the Malibu Mansion, Tony was around his garage still working on improving Mark 48 defensive features. He happens to be talking to someone through his calling cell on his technical computer.
Tony: Just makes sure the last of our belongings from Avengers Tower are shipped to our upstate facility by tonight, Happy. Otherwise you'll be talking to the hobos around the streets of NY.
Happy: Yeah sure, everything's going fine. It shouldn't be problem. Should I also send the things that also beings to Cap and Thor?
Tony: Yes, makes sure those are too set.
A buzzing noise sounds up as it shows that another call is reaching toward Tony.
Tony: I'll call back Happy.
He hangs up on Happy and then picks up on the other line.
Tony: Hey you've reached Tony Stark, anything other then weapons or dangers you wish to discuss?
Pepper: Tony, it's me!
Tony: Oh, Pepper should've known. Did you get any info on where else my weapons are?
Pepper: I tell you now that's not the issue that I'm you now. You won't believe what I found in Obadiah's computer. Tony, HE KNOWS!
Tony was now wondering what she meant by 'he knows'
Tony: What are talking about?
Pepper: Tony, the little girls power, he knows! He's captured a video of you both in the facility together that day before. Also, he was the one who step up The Ten Rings to kidnapped you 8 years ago! And he also has the print design from your first armor you used to escape from The Ten Rings!
Tony was petrified to hear what Pepper was telling him through the line. The guy who took over the company after the death of his father only later for him to take over happened to be the one who set up the attack on him 8 years ago. Also the fact that he somehow managed to get the design for Mark 1 armor. But what really got him was that he discovered Lucy's power.
Tony: You sure about this Pepper?!
Pepper: Yes Tony! In fact, in one of his notes, it says that he notice that the girl's little pink princess sister knows her secret and is wanting to show it to their family. And Obadiah is planning on speaking with her. And their plan is to get her secret out to their entire family which would cause her to run off as her entire family would be looking over her through town so he could prepare his prototype in time before anyone catches on!
Once hearing this, Tony sees that Stane is now putting the lives of Lucy's and her family in danger as he attempts to collect the ultimate power of weapons to himself as well as using another type of power to energize the suit. He now knows that the family needs to be warned of the potential danger that's eventually coming to them, so he must get to them and alert them as quick as possible.
Tony: Pepper, where are you now?!
Pepper: I'm with a couple of agents in one of their helicopters on our way to our facility in Royal Woods, the info I've collected tells that the suit Obadiah is building is around our facility there!
Tony: Okay, but just makes sure everyone in the facility evacuates soon before you guys confront Stane. I'll join up with you soon, but before I do, I have to go get the kid and her family out of town before it's too late!
Pepper: All right, be careful.
Tony: You don't need say that, I've survived worst.
Tony immediately ends the call as gets up.
Tony: Jarvis, shut off the latest installation on Mark 48 and assemble the suit right away!
Jarvis: Sir, the latest installation on Mark 48 is not yet-
Tony cuts off what Jarvis was trying to inform him.
Tony: I don't want to hear it Jarvis! Just get the suit ready for launch, fast! I have to get to Royal Woods and help the kid and her family!
Back at Stark Facility in Royal Woods, around where the huge arc-reactor where Lucy came into from her field trip here weeks ago before, loads of scientist were gathered around discussing their objective that was given to Obadiah. Right then, Obadiah comes through a door that led to the roof as one of the scientist calls him over.
???: Oh, Mr. Stane, we've explored what you've asked for and we are able to design and improve the armor the way it's design. But however, to power the suit, uh the way the core of where to power it is shaped, it doesn't exist.
Obadiah puts his arm around the scientist's shoulders.
Obadiah: Oh William, in reality, I didn't expect you guys to find the source to power the suit.
He then removes his arm around William's shoulders as William seemed confused of what Stane said by he didn't expect any of them to find a power source for the suit.
William: Wh-what? What do you mean?
Obadiah: Well, I find a girl who happens to have the source of the power to power up the suit. And let's just say, she happened to get this source, from demons.
William: Uhh, you are certain, Mr. Stane. Because, I found it hard to believe on a young child getting a new type technology from entity's.
Obadiah turns back to William, slightly surprised.
Obadiah: William, we live in a world where someone brilliant like Tony wears a suit of armor and goes around saving the planet, god-like aliens living out in space with magic hammers, aliens invasions, and a strange African kingdom hidden away from our reach. I would say we can believing any possibilities that happens around this universe. Including the paranormal.
William: Yeah but, i can't seem to actually believe in-
Before William could finish his sentence, Obadiah furiously interrupts him.
Obadiah: THIS LITTLE GIRL WAS ABLE TO GET THIS POWER FROM DEMONS! With an ouija board, a planchette and a bunch of candles!
A bit confused and a bit startled, William just decides to go along with Stane.
William: O-okay, I believe you.
Obadiah: Thank you. Forgive my attitude.
William: So do you think this girl who has this power source is willing to give it to you?
Obadiah: Oh yes. I giving her any offer she wouldn't turn down.
Stane looks up to the arc-reactor as William watch in question.
