Chapter 10: Epilogue

Monet had managed to get an artificial tooth implant, which perfectly fit into the gap between her teeth. The powerhouse was presently getting ready for a date with Wildstar. The other Hellion girls were scowling and plotting. Catseye hissed,

"Casteye think that red-eyed boy should have made Monet wear dentures."

Tarot nodded,

"Oui. Still, for someone to actually break M's tooth is impressive."

Roulette scowled,

"I am SO much better than her. Why can't Ace ask me out?"

The transforming feline smirked,

"You are not a cat, Stravos. Catseye is Ace's mate!"

Monet looked at the three of them, smugly remarking,

"You three should just admit defeat; Ace wants me. I am wearing a brand new dress, and I have a brand new smile."
She clenched her fists,

"If it wasn't for that stupid boy, I would still have my perfect smile. He flawed me!"

Downstairs, the Hellion boys were doing various activities in the rec room. Jetstream was reading a book, while the others were making bets and discussing how fast and downhill Monet's date was going to be with Ace. Bevatron said,

"Twenty minutes before Jenny takes a crowbar and smacks Monet with it."

Beef smirked,

"Ten minutes, and Catseye shows up with a bucket of pig's blood."

Empath remarked,

"Five minutes, and Tarot does some insane pressure point technique, paralyzing Monet forever."

The cybernetic flier looked up,

"You three are idiots, you realize that?"

The powerhouse grinned,

"Come on, Jet. It's an opportunity that can't be missed."
The Moroccan mutant rolled his eyes,

"I am more concerned with this new threat named Crisis. He has joined the ranks of this new West Coast Avengers team, which could be a problem. With two teams of Avengers, three teams of Misfits, and the X-men, our chances are shrinking every day that we can defeat them."

Beavtron shook his head,

"Calm down. This kid Crisis can't be THAT powerful."
Beef nodded,

"He is. I got sent flying across San Diego in one punch. Luckily, I found this amazing restaurant in the area. Really good sirloin."

Manuel rolled his eyes,

"You are almost as bad as Blob when it comes to food."

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Jetstream went to answer it.

As he opened the door, his jaw hung open.

It was Crisis.

The red-eyed hero smirked,

"Hey. Is Monet in? I want to give her this."
It was a somewhat elegant bouquet of flowers. Leon said,

"Wildstar asked me to deliver these to Monet, because he's really busy getting ready for tonight, so I volunteered. Is she in?"

Jetstream nodded silently, and the red-eyed Avenger walked in. Jetstream was still standing in shock, and would be so for several minutes.

As Monet paraded down the stairs, the girls following behind, the female powerhouse growled,

"YOU!"

Crisis held up the bouquet in defense,

"Easy there. Ace sent me to give you these and-."

Leon said the magic word as Monet quickly snatched the bouquet and stuck her tongue out at the girls,

"Hah! Ace loves me more! Give it up."

Crisis then began to back away toward the door,

"Don't forget to read the card."

He zipped away with super speed.

Monet eagerly took the card and read it. There were only two words written on it,

"Paint Bomb."

Monet, holding the bouquet, asked out loud,

"Paint bomb?"
Instantly, the bouquet exploded, sending red dye all over the room. Most of it concentrated on Monet, and her new dress. The other Hellions began laughing hysterically; even Beavtron and Beef took pictures of the literally red-faced Monet.

M was in disgust and looked at her dress. It was ruined. The note also said,

"P.S. This stuff is permanent. It looks like Ace won't be dating you for a while. The WCA."

Monet roared at the top of her lungs,

"THAT MAN IS DEAD!!!!! I'LL KILL HIM FOR THIS!!! NO ONE GETS IN THE WAY OF MY WILDSTAR AND LIVES!!!!!"
To make matters worse, a stream of fire erupted from her mouth. Beef blinked,

"I had no idea Monet could breathe fire."

Catseye smirked,

"Crisis isn't so bad. He got rid of one of Catseye's competition."

The probability user nodded,

"Yep, I actually will like this guy."

Tarot nodded,

"Oui. Now, Ace can have me."

Catseye pounced,

"Ace is Catseye's mate!"

And, thus, another cat-fight erupted.

Emma Frost came out, covered in green paint. She shrieked,

"WHICH ONE OF YOU MORONS DID THIS TO ME?"
Manuel walked outside the door and shook his head,

"He's long gone."
As he turned around, he swallowed nervously,

"Uh, Miss Frost, you might want to come out here."

The disgraced leader of the Hellions came out and had her jaw drop open in shock.

In green paint, there was a message scrolled on the wall. It read,

"Fenway isn't the only one who houses the Green Monster!"

Emma erupted,

"WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON THE PEOPLE THAT DID THIS, THEY'RE DEAD!!!"
She stormed back inside, not caring if she treaded green paint all over the house.

Jetstream finally regained the use of his mouth,

"We are so dead."

End of Emerging Crisis.
