Time for some drama my good friends, yea I know you guys want some more kick ass action scenes, but I wanted to write some drama, I hope you all like it, also who do you think the mysterious figure was last chapter?

"Morning mom, dad," Doreen said as she walked into the dining room, "anything interesting on the news?" she asked as she took a seat at the table.

"Actually yes, and for once it's not about you." Doreen's father said as he flicked on the TV, and it showed Jim was being interviewed.

"Are you sure this is not Squirrel Girl who intervened last night?" a reporter yelled at him as he stood behind his podium.

"I'm positive, I know SG, and this was not her, this was... this was something else." Jim said as a blurred photo from a security camera showed a cloaked individual in a fight with several of Shape's heavily armored organization members, and all Doreen could make out was the captial letter R present on the beings black and purple chest armor.

"Could this possibly be a new hero?" another reporter asked.

"It's possible, but I honestly just don't know." Jim answered as the flashbulbs sparkled as the press was taking their photos.

"Does SG have possible competition?" another reporter asked.

"There is no competition in hero work, the job either gets done or it does not, end of discussion." Jim dismissed the question he had been asked, as Doreen's father turned of the television.

"Looks like there's a new hero or vigilante in Los Angeles," Doreen mused as she took a bit of her toast, "hope they continue to help out Jim, even with my new arm I'm still not as good a fighter as I used to be." Doreen said as she looked down at her robot arm, that's also where her parents gaze's lied.

"What more will this city ask of you?" Maureen asked, and that confused Doreen.

"I honestly don't know, but every hero and heroine must be willing to make the sacrifice to keep their home safe, and if that means the ultimate sacrifice, than so be it." Doreen said, and that worried her parents as they exchanged a look as soon as she said that.

"We don't want you to make that choice," her father said as he rubbed his bearded chin, "the city asks to much of you, and Shape has taken so much from you, as much as we want to support you, we don't know if we can do it anymore."Dor said, and that surprised Doreen, her parent's always supported her heroine work, why wouldn't they want to do it anymore, than she remembered their glaze at her robotic arm.

"If this is about my arm-." Doreen began, but her mother of all people raised a hand to silence her.

"It's not just the arm, it's just that you've been shot, stabbed, and almost killed several times, not just here, but back in New York as well, when you almost got crushed in that force field, I was so scared." Maureen said, and that made Doreen think back to the events of graduation day. It was true that she had almost died that day, but the fact of the matter is that she didn't die, Peter had been able to save all of them.

"I was scared, more scared than you realize," Doreen said, and that surprised her parents, "as I stare death in the face almost every night, but that time I was so close to dying, I had almost given up hope, and was wondering what the sweet release of death felt like." Doreen said, and that caused her parents to shift in their seats, and look at their daughter with concern on their faces.

"You never told us this." Dor said in a calm tone.

"Didn't want to worry you, with all that's going on with Shape, losing my arm, and the constant battles over the last several months, I know your worried about me, trust me, I'm worried about myself, I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this alone." Doreen said with a sad sigh.

"You don't have to do this alone," Dor said, and that surprised Doreen, "you have Jim, and now you possibly have this new hero or heroine to help out, have you ever thought about possibly forming a team?" he asked his daughter.

"You mean like back in New York," she asked, and her father nodded his head, "I've never really thought of that, but now as I think about it, I must say, a team would be really nice, but not right now, I don't want anyone else to get caught in the crossfire between Shape and I, this is a battle the police and I must face alone, I don't want anyone else to get hurt." Doreen said, and her parents nodded in agreement.


"Would someone care to explain to me how fifty highly trained and well armed guards where subdued by a single individual?" Shape asked D-Back and Sitcom as they stood in front of his desk at their new location.

"It's hard to explain boss, it's like this individual could just phase through gunfire, I saw the security footage, bullets went right through, and not in the good way." D-Back said in his thick Latino accent.

"I agree, whoever this is took out fifty of our best men, and it wasn't Squirrel Girl, I think we have a new problem we need to deal with." Sitcom's strong African-American accent informed his boss.

"Any suggestion on how to deal with this problem?" Shape asked his lieutenants.

"I'm working on an experimental weapon," D-Back said, and that hooked Shape's attention, "it won't be ready for another week at least, but it might due to trick." D-Back said, and that earned a head nod from Shape.

"Excellent, let's bide out time and wait, then we will strike, for Squirrel Girl I can take care of, but whoever this is, is now our top priority..."

So Shape has a plan for this new mysterious figure, do you think it will work?
