Hi all. Just so you know, nothings changed, and I still don't own the source material. I'm beginning to think it isn't going to happen. Anyways, hope this doesn't disappoint. And thank you to everyone who followed, favorited, and slash or reviewed.

Jade was sitting with her friends at lunch, and as usual, they were talking about nothing in particular. "So, Vega, I was meaning to apologize about earlier today. I really do appreciate you telling them about me. I just, you know, I've been having such a hard time lately, and kinda snapped at you."
"Oh my god, did Jade West just apologize, and without one of the faculty threatening to throw her out if she didn't." Beck said, acting towards Jade in a way that was becoming his new normal. She knew he was just being sarcastic, that he really was happy she was able to grow a bit and apologize, but he was so used to chiding her after all the time they'd been together, that his actions were unintentional mean.
"He's sorry." Andre cut in. "I know, you're used to working for what you get, even scamming people. But Tori's genuinely nice, so she isn't looking for anything out of you. She just wants you to succeed."
Jade wanted to cut the musician down with a glare, but he was right, Tori was being herself. She wasn't perfect, but things always worked out for her. It was one of the reasons Jade kept her various revenge plots against Tori to the embarrassing. 'Also, I'm not some petty killer.' Jade remind herself. 'Billy taught me that killing can cost you more then it gains you.' Mostly, Jade knew Tori didn't mean anything by most of the things the singer did that hurt her. So Jade vented, and used Tori as inspiration for her crimes. Tori was often on her mind.
Beck didn't bother to confirm Andre's apology, instead once again talking about how he got Captain Epic's autograph. "He's such an incredible guy, part of the triple G. I can't wait for you guys to meet him. I'm in the running to play him in the latest movie. I'm sure he'll be more then happy to meet all of you."
Tori seemed to perk up, just a bit, at that possibility. "I'd love to meet him." Tori said. "I hear he's such a gentleman. Did you know he used to be Prefect's sidekick?" Jade didn't notice that her perkiness was just a touch off.
"What is it with you people. Celebrities, even super hero's, they aren't that special." Jade groused. She didn't know why, but this bugged her. Not that she felt she should have a movie about her, maybe Horrible deserved a movie, but not her. No, it was that no one got to see these so called Hero's the way she saw them. How selfish so many of them were. 'Just look at the number of people who they don''t save. They have the cool bases, and get the pretty girls, all the while people are suffering, and do they do anything about it? No. Not even Golden Shield, and I like him. No, they just let the suffering masses continue to suffer. If it weren't for villains like me, they'd be sitting around, telling people how cool they were while waiting for their three o'clock blow-job.'
Jade noticed everyone staring at her. 'Did I say that out loud?' She wondered. She didn't have to.
"Jade, you look like you're getting really worked up over there." Rex said. "Almost stabbing mad."
"Do we want to know why?" Cat asked.
"No." Jade said, and that ended that.
"So anyways, Captain Epic is going to be on set today, around four. I was thinking, Tori, that maybe you'd like to be there too?" Beck tried to keep the excitement up.
"I would love to meet a real hero." Cat said, almost bouncing in her seat.
"I think we all would." Robbie said.
"I suppose I could arrange that." Beck said, enjoying being the big man of the moment. "What about you? Andre, Jade?"
"I'd love to, but I have work." Andre admitted. Jade knew how hard the musician worked just to have any money. His music equipment wasn't cheap, so he obviously worked hard. The boy was dedicated, and deserved some success.
"I have plans." Jade said. "But I'll be there in spirit, just to mock you."
The camera came on, and as the picture formed, Doctor Devastation was sitting there, looking just a bit worse for wear. "Okay, where to start. Today was a clusterjank. I dropped by the new Captain Epic set to confront the pervy guy, and things just went sideways. My Demotivater ray, instead of eliminating his ability to move, or even his motivation, didn't do anything. So he beat me down, groped me multiple times, and what was I to do. He's superhumanly strong, and I couldn't get to my panic button. I was so sure that he was going to leave me in the hospital, and then bang, he let go for a second to pose for some pretty girl, and I got away. Almost. My armor saved me from the large piece of set he tossed at me, and the panic button worked."
The villain looked around her lab, thinking. "Okay, quick bit of fun. Do you know how I go to school after days like today? I used to use a holographic generator to make me look normal, but that got weird. Plus, it hurt like hell when my ex would want to screw. Not to mention Little Red is a huger. So I developed a healing tube. I'll be sleeping in there tonight, and I'll feel weak for a week, but no more internal injuries. The only real problem is, we'll, the first time I used it it confused my then boyfriend. He knew I wasn't a first timer. Hell, we'd done it before. So now, I gotta de-virgin myself. At least now that we're on a break, I don't have to bleed myself first thing in the morning."
"Anyways, Captain Epic continues on his quest to screw more tail then his mentor, and I'm going to make sure he pays for it." The villain said. "He's going to be shown to be the tool that he is. I mean, if he even tried to help the common man, who knows what good his strength could do. But no, he's too busy ripping things apart to throw in my general direction. There were people over there. Bystanders too dumb to get out of the way. High price for getting a glimpse of their hero. If I hadn't absorbed the impact..."
"Anyways, I've come to an uncomfortable conclusion about Vicky. It's not that she's too perfect, I think she's just perfect enough. I finally realized that a lot of my dislike of her stems from the fact that I, Doctor Devastation, am gay for her." Jade reached over to turn off the camera. Pulling her wig off, she was still looking at the camera. "You warned me about this, Billy. Falling for the damsel in distress. It always ends in heartbreak." Jade continued to sit there as her henchman, Tiff, walked in and gave her a comforting hug.
"It's okay to be gay." Tiff, also known as Tara Ganz, said. Jade just stared off into space, ignoring how the other girl was hugging her across her injuries.

Not as many laughs as I'd hoped when I first wrote this, but it does help build the story. I think there are more laughs later, in the next few chapters. Sorry, comedy is hard. I couldn't think of how to stuff a joke into the story here.
