The next day in the girls room of the local high school Mona sat eating her lunch away from the rest of the students. She did this as away to escape the torment of her so called peers. The ones who called her names shoved her into lockers and trash cans. Her peers were sent destroy her she thought.
As she began to take a bite of her apple Mona jolted as she was face to face with what she saw to be the devil incarnate flanked by demons. Before her stood Alison and four other girls with evil venomous smiles across their painted lips.
"Well look what we have her girls Mona the freak eating lunch all by herself," Alison said curtly. "Her let me help you," Aria said snatching the container from Mona's lap and dumped its contents onto the floor. "Now be a good little side show freak and eat you food off the floor or you know what's gonna happen,"
Hearing a voice echo in her mind Mona stood up and said "No," her voice trembling a bit.
"What did you say," Alison asked in a mean offended tone. Almost as if she had the right to be so.
" I said n…. ngh!," Mona groaned as a massive blow from Alison hit her the stomach. Making her crumble to her knees as all the wind escaped her lungs.
"Big mistake freak," Alison snarled as she grabbed Mona by the hair, "Now you're gonna learn your lesson," she said dragging her to the middle of the room where she and the rest of her hoard began to beat Mona.
Meanwhile in a park Wanda laid under a tree with her head resting in Loki's lap. "This nice isn't baby," Wanda said.
"We have company," Loki said.
No sooner did she say those words did Kang appear. Looking ready to strike the two. "Hello shall we dance again or can I kill you now?," Kang said
"Really dude who writes your dialogue ?," Loki said as TVA guards appeared behind Kang. Their weapons drawn
"You take the twenty on the left and I'll take the twenty on the right," Wanda said.
"Deal," Loki said as he and Wanda charged into battle against the guards.
Elsewhere Mona limped into her empty house. Tears dripping from her now two black eyes and clutching her ribs that she was sure was broken. Hearing the words of her own mantra of 'This has to stop' over and over as she walked up the stairs. By passing her own room she made her way to her parents room. Then to the closet where she painfully reached up and pulled down a thick black case with a lock on it. Hoping her prayers would be answered she pulled at the latches of the box finding them unlocked she opened the box and pulled out her father's 9mm handgun.
Starring at the gun Mona thought of all the years of abuse she had suffered over the years. The name calling the beatings and everything else she'd endured and a tear rolled down her already tear stained face. With her tears blurring her vision she loaded the gun as her father and mother had taught her and stuffed it into her back pack.
"It has to stop. I'll make it stop," she said.
Loki having defeated the TVA soldiers focused on fighting with Kang. The duo had managed to land several more blows on the insane Conqueror than they had in their encounter the night before. But Kang still seemed to be toying with them a bit.
Kang was soon over whelmed and fled.
Mona walked into Cosmic and spotted Alison and her group of her friends. Her left hand tucked into her backpack as she walked up to the table. The tears from earlier still streaking her face.
"Well look what we have here its the freak,' Alison teased getting a laugh from her friends at Mona's expense. "What's the matter freak didn't get enough earlier?"
"Apologize," Mona sniffled making Alison and her group laugh
"What did you say freak," Alison chuckled
"I SAID APOLOGIZE!" Mona screamed as she pulled the gun from her bag and began to fire at the group making them and everyone in the build scatter. Everyone but a now wounded Alison.
As Wanda and Loki arrived in front of Cosmic they instantly saw the crowd of police teenagers a few older citizens as well as emergency personal outside the building. The duo quickly joined the crowd. "What's going on," Wands asked a random blonde haired boy.
"Freaky Mona came in and started shooting up the place she has Alison in there hostage," the boy said " She's not a freak" Maya snapped.
Wanda felt a chill go down her back at the thought of what the meek young girl was doing. And she couldn't help but blame a small part of herself. It was her that told Mona to stand up to her bullies but she hadn't missed this way. She new she needed to do something now she needed to fix it.
"I have to go in there. I have to talk to her!" Wanda said pulling Loki away from the crowd.
"I know you want to help but those cops aren't gonna let you in there," Loki said honestly knowing his friends desire to help her friend.
"I have to try," Wanda said her voice showing all her emotional distress.
"Go," Loki said.
Wanda nodded not fifteen seconds later she was running at full speed into Cosmic amongst the screams of people. Once inside she saw Mona standing over a wounded Alison whose leg was bleeding as she coward in a corner. The gun shaking as she healed the gun.
"What's the matter Alison scared," Mona said snifling a bit.
"Mona put the gun down!," Wanda said hoping her authoritative tone would make the young girl drop the weapon.
Mona looked over her shoulder seeing the Scarlet Witch and felt bit intimidated and shocked but did not waver in her or turn the gun away from Alison. "No! no I have to I have to stop her."
"Look…. Mona….. I'm….. sorry ….. ok!," Alison said sobbing.
"You're not sorry," Mona said tearfully aiming the gun at Alison's head.
Wanda seeing no other way to reach the girl used her skills to leapt in front of Mona. "Mona look at me its me Wanda your friend you don't want to do this. You don't want to be a monster like her you're better than that." Wanda said hoping she'd reached the girl.
"No its the only way," Mona said slowly turning the gun towards her head. "I have to do this to make it stop,"
"No!" Wanda screamed a split second before Mona pulled the trigger and fell to the ground. Ending her pain and her life. Tears flooding their eyes and anger showing. Wanda scooped up Mona's now lifeless body in her arms. Wanda then looked at Alison and said "I'll be back one day to visit my friend and if hear anything about you bulling anyone or that you've told my secret I'll chop that pretty little blonde head of yours off ."
Hours later Wanda lay with her head in Loki's lap crying, " Fuck this town " She said.
