PATHETIX
"LIGHT IS DARK, DARK IS LIGHT"
His name is Walter Goodwill, also known as the Ecstatic Eye Scream. His mutant power is create any type of ice cream he wants. He can also melt his body down to ice cream with the aid of his suit.
Her name is Cheryl Wiggum, also known as the Sensational Squirrel Girl. Her mutant powers are the features of a squirrel. She has a long squirrel-like tail, a giant tooth and small fur. She also has a small "knuckle spike" which is a small spike that has grown out of the back of her hand. It has grown bigger since she was younger.
What has brought these mutants together? I think the question is…why did they get together?
A day has passed since they're first battle with the Stilt Man and the two heroes have set base up Eye Scream's apartment.
"Go fish. So you've spent three years in the Vault? Got any fours?" asked Squirrel Girl as Eye Scream picked up a card from the deck.
"Yep, three years...just because I wanted to destroy the X-Men. Is that so bad? Go fish."
(In Marvel's Obnoxio the Clown vs. the X-Men – Chris)
Squirrel Girl put down her cards and looked at Eye Scream. She seemed a little frightened. "Ice, why did you want to do that?"
He put down his cards as well and took a spoonful of ice cream from a bowl nearby. "I was real dumb at the time. I wanted revenge because even when I hanged around mutants, they made fun of me. I was screwed by humans and mutants. It pissed me off so much, I just lost it."
Squirrel Girl placed her hand on Eye Scream's shoulder and grinned, "I won't judge you on the past, Ice. Since we're telling each other about ourselves, I'm Cheryl Wiggum."
Eye Scream smiled, "Are you related to that cop from the Simpsons?"
"I get that all the time. If you tell me your name is Ben Jerry I'll seriously die of laughter."
"Hardy har har, toothy. Aren't you the clever one? My name is Walter Goodwill, but I like to be called Walt. Walt, only."
They shook hands and smiled.
"Now back to the game. Remember..? You were losing." Eye Scream smiled a large and sarcastic smile. Squirrel Girl didn't pick up her cards.
"I was thinking…we should start a team. A place where mutants who even get ridiculed by other mutants can be…like you were saying."
"That's not a bad idea, for a squirrel. But finding mutants with lame powers isn't exactly a common thi.."
"…I got it! When I first told my mother that I was a mutant, she got really scared. She started giving me a load of stuff mutant related. One day, I got this newsletter called the Mutant Gazette. It had classifieds and stuff about different mutants."
"Ya got it on ya, toothy?"
"I will in a second. Wait here while I get an issue from my house."
Interlude:
Our moon. A female humanoid placed her hand through her bright yellow hair and walked over to a male humanoid. He got up from his location and kissed the female and sat back down and continued to fix the wreckage of his spaceship. The female walked over to an unconscious humanoid head and picked up a few tools that lay beside her. She placed her hand into her hair again and began working, knowing exactly what to do.
End Interlude
Eye Scream and Squirrel Girl had a small brochure in there hand and began reading several articles. Eye Scream snatched it from Squirrel Girl's hand and laughed.
"Check this out: May 17th holds our annual "Mutie Lovers" week. Bring your forks and spoons for the main event!"
"Seek help." Squirrel Girl said, snatching the brochure back. She was looking for a girl who had placed a classified into the paper. The girl had lived in Chicago for years and claimed she had a strange power. Reaching a very small trailer, she knocked on the door.
"Hello? Is anyone home?"
Eye Scream lightly pushed Squirrel Girl out of the way. "Toothy, this is how it's done." He turns the knob and the door opens. Both heroes walk in and call out.
"Hello? Is anyone here? Is anyone home?" Squirrel Girl says. She opens another door and jumps. A girl with rainbow colored hair sits in the corner of the room wearing a black leather trench coat. She grins.
"Um...I'm sorry we just barged in like this. Are you…Becca Eidelman? You placed an ad in the Mutant Gazette.
"Yo, there's no one here…whoa! Who's the multicolor broad?" Eye Scream asks, standing next to Squirrel Girl. The girl sitting in the corner got up and walked over to Squirrel Girl and Eye Scream.
"Come with me." The rainbow hair girl walked out of the room and went straight into another one. Eye Scream nudged Squirrel Girl.
"And you wanted me to seek help? She's a walkin' South Oaks! Let's leave while we can." Squirrel Girl ignored him and walked into the room.
"Yes," said the rainbow hair girl as Squirrel Girl entered the room, "I am known as Becca Eidelman. I'm a mutant."
"What are your powers? Can you summon Rainbow Brite?" Eye Scream asked.
Becca looked away and held up a book. "I can change my skin and other people's skin to different colors."
The others looked at her and gave her a strange look. She was the worst out of the both of them and they knew it. At least they could cause damage to things. All she could do was change the color of her skin. Her hair seemed a result of birth as Squirrel Girl saw her roots were rainbow as well.
Becca started to tug the book closer to her. She closed her eyes and started to hum.
"Whoa…that's a…pretty song?" Eye Scream said, getting a little skeeved. He whispered into Squirrel Girl's ear. "Let's ace this place. She's freakin' me out."
Becca turned around and looked at Eye Scream. "Am I scaring you?"
Eye Scream stood still.
"Am I?" Becca raised the book over her head. A bright yellow aura appeared around her hand as the bed next to her started to move and walk on its own. Eye Scream and Squirrel Girl started to move slowly backwards with confused looks on their faces.
Becca's skin color started to drastically change to random colors as the bed moved quicker towards them. Squirrel Girl stopped moving backward and looked at the situation. She narrowed her eyes and jumped the bed. She raised her hand and slammed her knuckle spike into the sheets. Eye Scream continued with a concussive blast of vanilla ice cream. Then, he shot a blast of freezing ice scream at her book and her hands to freeze them in place. The bed stopped moving.
"Good job, Ice. I'm sorry for his behavior, he tends to be a little to over the top," Squirrel Girl says as Becca is seated on the bed, her hands in the ice cream handcuffs, "But that doesn't explain you're actions. We came because of your ad which said you needed friends to deal with who were experiencing powers that weren't exactly regular powers."
Becca placed her head down, her hair flowing over her face. She gently started to weep. "I'm just so tired of being made fun of…"
Eye Scream started to feel guility, "Ahh…I was only teasing. If you knew me, you'd known I like to tease. No hard feelings…right?"
Becca looked up into Walter's eyes. "I didn't think anyone would come." Squirrel Girl ripped open the ice cream handcuffs as Becca dropped her book. "I've never had any real friends.I was one of the crowds in school called the "Goth". I never fit in with the other "Goths" because of my hair. When I was in graduation, to receive my diploma…my powers first manifested. As I touched my principle's hand to get my diploma, my skin and his started to change to different colors. Everyone laughed, and I ran away. I'm sure my parents are worried sick…"
"Then, what was that stunt you did with the bed?" Eye Scream asked, picking her book and handing it to her. She glanced at it.
"I study the mystical arts…it's a new type of mystical arts. I can make inanimate objects move on my command. I'm not very good at it, but I am one of the few who study it."
The three remained silent for a time. Cheryl finally extended her hand and smiled.
"I'm Cheryl Wiggum, Squirrel Girl. This is Walter Goodwill, Eye Scream. Welcome aboard."
Becca grabbed her hand and smiled. Walter remained motionless.
"Who's up for ice cream?! ON THE STUD!"
They looked at him strangely.
"You don't get it? You know how people say on the house well…"
"Shut up, Ice." Squirrel Girl said, walking with Becca to the exit of her trailer. Walter started to follow then stopped in his tracks.
"…Oh my God. Wait, toothy! Does this mean that Skittles over here is joining the team?"
"Probably, yes. Why?"
He grins and starts to chuckle, "Two girls in my apartment? SWEET!"
