It's time for the next chapter of this story! There's not really much to say this time so let's get to it!...After the reviews of course.
REVIEWS
allanarcher777 - Yeah, I didn't grow up a huge Marvel fan, but I still appreciate his work nonetheless. His legacy has definitely shaped the way superheroes are perceived and he will be greatly missed.
Guest - Glad you're enjoying it. I was trying to include all the Louds in the first chapter but that didn't happen unfortunately. Don't worry, Madame L and Baby Remedy's counterparts will be introduced in this chapter. I'm not sure if Seth will be crossing over or not but we'll see what happens.
Guest - Interesting take. I chose to make Lana's counterpart Iron Man because of her love for mechanics. And honestly, Lincoln as Thor just seemed too right in my opinion.
NB: Parts of this episode were inspired by a review I received a while back. To whoever sent me it, if you recognize your ideas in here, you can let me know in a review and I'll shout you out! Thank you!
Alright, let's start Chapter 2! Reviews and constructive criticism welcome!

Super Louds: The Series - Royal Avengers Part 2
Meanwhile at Flip's Food and Fuel...
*police documenting evidence and an ambulance is standing by*
*the Avenge Rover pulls up to the scene*
"*gets out the van* Wow. That meta really did a number on this place." said Power Hawk.
Seth had definitely left his mark on this gas station. All the pumps were frozen solid, the parking lot was slick with ice, and the inside appeared to have gotten the same treatment.
"I guess you can say that this was really COLD. Hahahaha! Get it?" joked Shining Marvel.
Her joke was ignored as the Avengers approached the lead officer on the scene.
"What happened here Smith?" asked Captain Elastic.
"Well, right now we're not exactly sure. There's not much physical evidence to go on. We discovered a suspicious box of chemicals inside the store and the owner, who is barely conscious." said Officer Smith.
"Wait. The owner is here?" asked Shifting Witch shocked.
"Yes. He was apparently here at the time of the attack." said Officer Smith.
Storm Strike's eyes suddenly widened in shock as he thought: "Wait a minute! *flashes back to Seth before transformation* What if the meta is Seth?!"
Just then, Flip was being wheeled out of his store on a gurney, his skin looking like it was burned and frozen at the same time. As the paramedics approached the frozen gas pumps with Flip, Iron Glacier received a warning from her AI.
"Lana, I detect flammable units nearby. There may be hidden explosives." said H.O.P.S. (Holographic Onboard Positioning System)
"That's just the gas pumps H.O.P.S. They're always a fire hazard." said Iron Glacier.
"I beg you to take a closer look. Please ma'am." said H.O.P.S.
Iron Glacier complied and magnified her view of the gas pumps in front of her. She more or less skimmed over them, not expecting to see anything until her peripheral caught sight of a red flash. She looked back at one of the pumps she had passed to see that there was a bomb in place set to detonate. The other pumps surrounding it had bombs on them as well.
"Oh no..." thought Iron Glacier. "Stop! Don't come any closer! There's-
It was too late. Before the paramedics could turn back, the bombs were activated upon motion sense, and the paramedics and Flip were caught by the explosion. The Avengers and the police present just watched in sheer horror.
Suddenly, however, the whole scene appeared to rewind itself to the point where the paramedics were just wheeling Flip out of the store.
"Huh? What the?" said Iron Glacier confused.
She looked over and saw that the Time Stone in Madame Strange's (Lucy's) possession was glowing. She had used it to reverse time before the recent tragedy. To prevent it from happening this time, she used her telekinesis to move the paramedics and Flip away from the gas pumps, and over to where she and the others were standing.
"Good job Strange." said Captain Elastic.
"I try." said Madame Strange.
"Uh, Mr. Flip? What happened to you?" asked Storm Strike, trying his best to disguise his voice.
"Ugh...*grunts* That kid..." said Flip, struggling to speak.
"He's suffered serious blunt force trauma and severe burns. What's weird about this is that he appears to have frostbite and blisters at the same time." said one of the paramedics.
The Royal Avengers all looked at Flip, each feeling some level of pity for him. He may not have been the nicest guy ever, but he was still a human being and it was their job to protect him from harm just like everyone else.
As the paramedics wheeled Flip away to the ambulance, Officer Smith placed his hand on Captain Elastic's shoulder.
"This is gonna be a hard one Captain. I wish you guys the best of luck. I'm gonna head back to HQ." said Officer Smith.
"Thanks Smith." said Captain Elastic, shaking his hand as Smith walked off. "Alright Avengers, we've gotta find this meta pronto. We need to cover as much ground as possible. Hawk, Glacier and Spider Flare, you guys will cover the west side of town. Strange, Storm, and Panther, you guys got the east. Marvel, Witch and I will cover the central part. Are we clear?" said Captain Elastic.
"Yes sir Captain!" exclaimed the other Avengers in unison.
"Then let's roll!" exclaimed Captain Elastic, as he and his group ran to the Avenge Rover, while the others split up to cover their sides of town.
Meanwhile, back at Royal Woods PD...
"*analyzing the footage from Falconette's goggles* Hmm..." said Super Vision, as she pondered in thought.
"Anything Vision?" asked Nick.
"Not at the moment. Falconette did capture Frasier and his men leaving the base but that still doesn't give me much to work with." said Super Vision.
"I knew I should've tracked them." said Falconette.
"It's okay Falconette. It would've been reckless if you had went after them alone. I just need to run a list of possible ways they could have traveled after they turn that bend." said Super Vision.
"How long will that take?" asked Blonde Widow, holding a sleeping Doctor Shrink (Lily).
"Giving a rough estimate: About three hours. Four at most." said Super Vision.
"*sighs* I sure hope the rest of the Avengers are having better luck than us." said Nick.
Just then, he received an incoming call from an unknown number.
"*answers it* Hello?"
"Hey there Chief. Just letting you and the readers know I'm dropping in." said DeadBowl.
"Me and the readers? What are you talking about? Who is this?" asked Nick.
"I prefer to introduce myself in person. I don't wanna be rude." said DeadBowl.
Just then, glass panes being shattered were heard and gunfire started ringing out on the second floor of the police station. Nick and the other Avengers present instinctively got into cover, with Super Vision hurriedly disconnecting Falconette's goggle camera from the computer.
"See? Those guys have the right idea. They all wanna make a good first impression." said DeadBowl.
"I don't know who you are or what this is, but I can assure you that you are making a big mistake." said Nick.
"Oh really? Well, I guess we'll see if that's the case by the end of this chapter." said DeadBowl.
"Chapter? What?...Hello?...Hello?! Ugh! He hung up!" said Nick.
"Who was that guy?" asked Falconette.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling he'll be popping up later. Listen, we need to find a way out of here." said Nick.
Suddenly, Super Vision received a vision of gunmen heading their way.
"Chief! Flank left! Now!" exclaimed Super Vision.
Nick rolled out of the path of incoming fire aimed at him, and returned fire to the assailant with his pistol. He was now taking cover behind an office desk, and Falconette was doing the same, shooting back with her own firearm.
Super Vision, Blonde Widow, and Doctor Shrink were all hiding behind a filing cabinet, while bullets flew overhead.
"Widow, it would be wise for you and Shrink to disappear for awhile." said Super Vision.
"*bullet flies close by her* Like, I totes agree!" said Blonde Widow.
"Here. I've loaded Falconette's camera footage onto this flash drive. I want you to take it with you and make sure it stays safe. It may be our only way of figuring out Frasier's location." said Super Vision, as she handed Blonde Widow the flash drive.
"You got it Vision! Like, I hope to see you later!" said Blonde Widow, as she activated her light refractors to turn her invisible. She then activated exterior cloaking so that Doctor Shrink would be invisible as well. She then sprinted off in search of safety.
Meanwhile, in the west side of Royal Woods...
"You see anything yet H.O.P.S.?" asked Iron Glacier, flying through the streets.
"Negative ma'am. No cryokinetic activity detected in the vicinity." said H.O.P.S.
"You guys got anything?" asked Iron Glacier, via communicator.
"Nah. Everything's normal up here." said Power Hawk, who was perched atop a tall building.
"*spider senses suddenly tingle and she suddenly fells a cold chill* Guys! My spider senses are tingling! I just felt from cold air pass by!" said Spider Flare.
"Where's it coming from? We might be able to track it." said Iron Glacier.
"It feels like it's coming from the direction of the Royal Woods Mall." said Power Hawk, feeling a cold chill pass by her as well.
"H.O.P.S., give me a visual of the Royal Woods Mall." said Iron Glacier.
H.O.P.S. complied and Iron Glacier was given a view of the outside of the mall. Many people seemed to be exiting the mall with haste. It appeared as though they were fleeing from something.
"Guys! We gotta hustle over to the mall! I think we got something!" said Iron Glacier.
"Got you Glacier! Let's move!" said Power Hawk, as she leaped across the rooftops, heading for the mall.
Iron Glacier and Spider Flare followed close behind.
Back at Royal Woods PD...
"*deactivates her light refractors once she's in the break room* Phew! That was a close one Shrink!" said Blonde Widow.
"*smirks* That's what she said." said DeadBowl, leaning against the countertop.
"Wh-Who are you?" asked Blonde Widow surprised.
"Were you not paying attention? I said my name from Chapter 1! Ohhh wait a minute. You don't break the 4th wall do you?" asked DeadBowl.
"I'm not strong enough to break down walls! Well, maybe my sister is...Uh, I mean! What do you want from me?!" said Blonde Widow.
"Okay relax sweetheart. It's simple. Just give me the flash drive and everything stays cool." said DeadBowl.
"Oh no. I totes can't do that. I have to protect this thing no matter what. Sorry!" said Blonde Widow.
"Yeah well, the guy who I work for, won't take sorry for an answer. So look girl, I don't wanna have to hurt you, cause I don't like to hurt what I like." said DeadBowl.
Blonde Widow just stood there confused for a second.
"Like, I totes don't understand what you just said." said Blonde Widow.
"I had a feeling you wouldn't, and yet I still like." said DeadBowl.
"Okay, I don't know what you're talking about, but I have a boyfriend just so you know." said Blonde Widow.
"I know. I have a girlfriend too." said DeadBowl.
"Really? Who?" asked Blonde Widow.
"Blonde Widow. (to the readers) You were expecting me to say Leni weren't you? Haha! Twist!" said DeadBowl.
"What?! I'm totes not your girlfriend!" said Blonde Widow.
"Relax Len. Just give me the flash drive." said DeadBowl.
Blond Widow paused for a second as she recognized that nickname.
"...Chaz?" said Blonde Widow unsure.
"*takes off mask* Who else?" asked DeadBowl (now revealed as Chaz).
"W-Why are you doing this? W-Wait! You mean, you're a bad guy?!" asked Blonde Widow.
"It's not my choice Len. Look, remember three months ago when I was in the hospital?" asked DeadBowl.
"Yeah?" responded Blonde Widow.
"I was on my deathbed basically. I didn't tell you but I had stage 4 lung cancer. I thought I was gonna die until Frasier walked into my life." said DeadBowl.
"What happened?" asked Blonde Widow.
"...He turned me into a meta-human. Gave me regeneration abilities to slow the cancer down. But, in exchange for him helping me, I had to help him. So, I've had to...take out a couple people." said DeadBowl.
"Wait. When you say take out, you don't mean-"
"No, not a restaurant Leni." said DeadBowl, shaking his head.
"Oh god!...Chaz...how could you do this?!" asked Blonde Widow.
"I had no choice! Frasier'll kill me if I don't do what he says! I'm telling you I don't like this Leni, but I have to do it...So, please *holds up a gun* don't make me do this." said DeadBowl.
Blonde Widow looked at who she had formerly known as her boyfriend, now just an assassin being played like a pawn. She placed Doctor Shrink down on a table next to her and stared teary-eyed at DeadBowl.
"*sniffles* Chaz...I like you alot, but I love my family more." said Blonde Widow.
"Hey, I respect that. In fact, I like that. (to the readers) If this is getting annoying I'm sorry. Blame 65 and his terrible use of my one catchphrase. (back to Blonde Widow) And I don't like this Len...but I need that flash drive." said DeadBowl, as he fired a shot at Blonde Widow.
However, Blonde Widow seemed to have disappeared.
"*appears behind him* I'm sorry Chaz. I don't wanna do this, but I totes have to." said Blonde Widow, as she grabbed DeadBowl from behind by the neck and held him in place on the ground.
"*grunts* That's why I like you Len. You've got spunk. But I can't go down like this!" said DeadBowl, as he toughened his skin and broke free of his girlfriend's hold.
"What the heck? Aah!" said Blonde Widow, as she nearly dodged a bullet.
She activated her light refractors again and went on the invisible defensive.
"Come on Len, you can't hide from me forever." said DeadBowl.
"Oh I know. But I also know that as long as you can't see me, you won't shoot me." said Blonde Widow, still invisible.
DeadBowl held up his guns in defense, but eventually lowered them, seemingly in defeat.
"*sighs* You know I don't wanna hurt you Len...I don't wanna hurt anybody. I just wanna get out of this mess." said DeadBowl.
"I wish I knew how to help you Chaz..." said Blonde Widow.
"You can't. *phone starts ringing* Bet it's Frasier. *picks up* Hello?...Nah, the...the flash drive got destroyed...One of the guys shot it by accident! What do you want me to do?...Alright, I'll meet you there. Bye." said DeadBowl, as he hung up.
"What did he say?" asked Blonde Widow.
"It's best if I don't tell you. You already know too much." said DeadBowl, as he put his guns away.
"Wait Chaz...I just wanna help you." said Blonde Widow.
"I know you do Leni...but you can't." said DeadBowl, as he curled his body up into a ball, and rolled straight through the wall, and out the building.
Blonde Widow deactivated her light refractors and looked out the hole DeadBowl had made.
"Oh Chaz..." said Blonde Widow to herself.
Well...that happened.
DeadBowl: Really? That's all you have to say after that?
Hey! It's bad enough with you breaking the 4th wall in the chapter! Stay out of my outro! Anyways guys, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and if it feels like the story is lacking action so far, hopefully that'll be fixed by next chapter.
I hope to have the next episode of the main SLTS posted soon. Thank you guys for reading and I'll see you later. Bye!
DeadBowl: I'm gonna have to give this guy some writing tips...
What did I say?!
