Chapter 8: A Little Less Gratitude and A Lot More Attitude. (Special thanks to Jokermask18 for the request!)
About a week later, Voyd was becoming more popular and less mocked, especially due to her new muscles. She was winning many more battles, but even better, she felt a little bit tougher, and she acted it too.
However, things started to take a strange turn. One day, Dehydra was fighting a villain capable of leveling entire city blocks with just a stomp, but suddenly, when she was fixing to deal the final blow, the villain suddenly fell through a portal and into a police van.
Voyd then showed up and said, "Thank me later." to a confused Dehydra before vanishing.
The next day, Voyd interfered with a battle that Brick was on the verge of finishing with a powerful robot.
"Voyd! That was my fight!" Brick said.
"All's fair in love and war, sister." Voyd said before she left.
Later that week, Voyd started to interfere with more Supers, arrogantly stating her wish for gratitude each time, making the Supers more annoyed with her.
She didn't stop there however. One day, there was a WWE wrestling match between Kelly Kelly and AJ Lee. AJ was fixing to pin down Kelly Kelly, when they were both body-slammed by Voyd, who had warped in from where she was watching.
The crowd half-cheered, half-booed, "That's right! Who's the baddest?!" Voyd asked.
As if that wasn't bad enough, she started doing the same thing with other boxers and wrestlers, as well as bodybuilders, constantly photobombing, interrupting matches, the list goes on.
At one point, she beat up a stronger version of the robot she had encountered days before and, much to her pleasure, the same kids who mocked her were present. After she destroyed the robot, she walked over to them.
"Hey, kids, bet you don't think I'm so weak now, do you? What do you think of these?!" Voyd asked as she flexed, showing off her muscles.
"Woah, she's been working out!" said a boy.
"We're sorry, Miss Voyd." said another boy.
"We won't make fun of you anymore!" said a girl.
"Yeah, you better not. Apology accepted, though." Voyd said before she left.
A few days later, that attitude is what caused things to fall apart.
Dash was playing with the treadmill, much to his mother's annoyance.
"Dash, how many times have I told you to quit playing on that treadmill like that? You're messing it all up." Helen asked.
Karen, who was drinking a soda, came around the corner and saw what was happening, having heard it.
"Dash, seriously! You're leaving friction tracks all over the treads!" Helen said.
"Sorry, Mom! I just can't resist the temptation to be the man that beats the machine!" Dash said before Karen picked up the treadmill with him still on it and threw the treadmill through the wall.
"She said Stop Running On Her TREADMILL!" Karen said.
Helen watched with wide eyes, "Uh, Karen?" she said before Karen pointed at her.
"The words you're looking for are 'Thank' and 'You'! Put them together, they make a nice sound!" Karen said, Helen backing up each time she jabbed her finger at her.
"Dash, are you okay?!" Helen called.
"Yeah!" Dash called from the living room.
Later, Karen was lifting a weight when Dash and Violet came in.
"What's up, kiddies?" she asked.
"Aunt Karen, we need to talk." Violet said.
"What about, how awesome I've been lately?" Karen asked arrogantly.
"Well, you've been acting tougher, which is a good thing, but you've also been acting kind of rude." Dash said.
"Sorry, kids, just business." Karen said.
"You are aware that people aren't going to like you much if you keep upstaging others like you've been doing, don't you? I mean, Brick wasn't too pleased with your arrogance, and neither were any of the other Supers." Violet said.
"So? If they don't like the new Voyd, that's their problem. Besides, I did need to become tougher." Karen said as she took a drink.
"Right, but we're just saying. Maybe we could fight crime alongside you. We could show you a few ropes you haven't climbed." Dash said politely.
"I don't need you two." Karen said.
Dash and Violet looked offended, "What did you say?!" Violet asked.
"Are you deaf, Violet? I said I don't need you." Karen said.
"You don't need us, huh?! You are aware that if it wasn't for me and Violet, your butt would be sitting out on the curb!" Dash snapped.
"Well, maybe you should've just left me there, then, you arrogant speedster." Karen said.
"Look who's talking!" Violet snapped, not liking their new aunt talking to her brother that way.
"Look, kids, I don't need you two to help me! All you would do would be get in the way of my awesomeness! From now on, you may as well just leave crime fighting to the profesh! (professional)" Karen said as she arrogantly smirked while punching a punching bag.
"Fine! You don't want us to help you? THEN, DON'T EXPECT ANY HELP FROM US WHEN YOU GET SLAMMED INTO A BLOODY MESS!" Violet shouted.
"YOU STINK, AUNT KAREN!" Dash yelled before the two of them stomped off.
Karen looked offended.
"Go play with your toys and leave me alone!" Karen yelled after them.
