a Brea Tar Pits
Los Angeles, California
"Chase, you have to let go, Honey. We...we should probably bury her somewhere before the museum opens upstairs." Gert said as she walked up to her dead body. "Whoever she was, she's gone now."
"Whoever she was?" Chase looked up at his girlfriend. "Gert, you saw her walk out of your parent's Back To The Future Machine! This is you! Look at her!"
"I told you, this is probably some stupid trap left by our parents. That could just be a clone, or a magic trick or-."
"That's it!" Chase shouted; interupting Gert. "Nico, use a spell! Bring her back to life!"
"I can't, Chase." Nico held the staff close to her face. "I can only cast the same spell once, and I already tried a resurrection enchantment."
"You tried to raise the dead? When? Who?" Karolina asked.
"It was right after we defeated the Pride. I...I tried to save Alex." Nico said softly.
"What?" Jake turned to her. "You mean the kid who betrayed us?"
"Yeah! How the hell could you waste a spell like that!" chase agreed.
"He was terrible to us, Chase, but he didn't deserve death." Trini stated. "No one deserves death."
"Whatever, it doesn't matter now. The spell didn't work. Even the Staff Of One has limits." Nico stated.
"What about Trini! She can bring people back! Just like she brought Chase back that one time!" Molly exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Chase encouraged. "Bring her back like you did me!"
"Correction." Trini raised a finger. "I saved you from death. You were still clinging onto life when I saved you. I don't even know if I can bring the dead back. And even if I could, I think there's a price that I'm pretty sure I'm not willing to pay."
"But Jake's a Vampire! Can't he turn her into a Vampire, too?" Molly questioned.
"Not if they're already dead." Jake shook his head.
"But Trini knows everything! So why don't you tell us what happened to her?" Karolina pointed at Trini.
"I don't know everything. I assume things that turn out to be fact.I only know basic knowlage and if I want to know more, I have to meditate. But I don't know about the future. That's out of my reach." Trini explained.
"Well, can Nico's Staff of One at least tell us where she came from?" Molly suggested.
"Out of the Mouth Of Babes." Gert declared.
"Is that possible, Nico?" Karolina asked. "Is there some way you could see the last few moments of her life?"
"I...I suppose I could try..." Nico kneeled down and placed her hand on Older Gert's eyes. She lowered her staff. "FLASHBACK."
Nico sat there for a couple of seconds; her eyes closed and her head was lowered. Until Nico shot back with a yelp.
"What is it? What'd you see?" Gert asked frantically.
"The truth, she wasn't lying." Nico stated.
"I coulda told you that." Trini crossed her arms. "That girl is Gert...well, in a couple of decades, anyway."
"Yes," Nico nodded. "She was attacked by someone named Victorious. He...He was horrible."
Chase walked over to Trini and pointed at the picture in her hands. "That's this kid she wanted us to stop. Victor Someting-or-Other. We gotta waste him before he offs you!"
"Ugh, the kid isn't evil now." Trini walked to the middle of the room. "There's no need for violence."
"Well, Gert's older self did say that Victor's father was a villain, right?" Karolina looked around.
"Well, last time I checked, your parents weren't exactly saints. And you all turned out alright." Jake smiled.
"Most of us anyway." Trini sat down on the floor and crossed her legs Indian Style.
"Man, what if his dad is Voldemort?" Molly blinked.
"Voldemort isn't real, genius." Chase cracked his knuckles. "This psycho's probably the son of the devil. Or Dracula. Whatever, I say we find the kid, and play a few rounds of Who's Your Daddy? with his face."
"No, Trini's right. Violence just causes more violence. If we're not careful...we could end up creating the monster we're trying to destroy." Nico turned away.
"Okay, that's all cool. But how the hell do we find him?" Gert asked.
"That's where I come in." Trini said as she placed Victor's picture in front of her. "Thanks to Xavier's school, I was able to learn how to use my tracking powers." She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "Victor Mancha...Show yourself." Trini's eyes glowed white; her body was unmoving for a couple of minutes.
"Is she dead?" Molly took a step forward.
Trini blinked and shook her head. "Found him!"
East Angeles High School
Later
Trini grabbed her head. "Did we really have to land in the middle of a High School Foot Ball field?"
"Well it's not like we can just walk in the front entrance of the school." Chase shrugged as Gert grabbed the Microphone.
"Attention, Jocks!" She said. "We're looking for one of your classmates, Victor Mancha! Tell us where he is, and you can return to your meaninless ball chasing!"
"Hey, Football has meaning to it!" Jake corrected.
"Yeah, no it doesn't." Karolina shook her head.
"Pfft. Figures a woman would say that." Chase rolled his eyes.
"Okay, Trini, you're up." Nico pointed at Trini.
"What? Why me?"
"Because you're the one who's going to marry him." Molly said as she pushed Trini out the back door.
"What? No-that's not true!" She tried to push against Molly. But of course, Molly was stronger than her.
"Just Go!" Molly shoved her out the door.
Outside
"Vic, they're talking 'bout you." Victor's friend, Jorge, said outloud. "Your mothership's come to take you home."
"Dio! Vas a callarte? For the last time, I'm not an-." He stopped when he saw her. She was at least up to his chest, her mint eyes were the firs thing that his eyes landed on. She wore a one sided off the shoulder sweater that hugged her curves and covered the shorts she was wearing underneath, with faded out combat boots. Her long brown hair cascaded down her back and her side bangs were placed on top of her Ray-band glasses. She smiled and waved a hand.
"Uh, Victor?" She held up a picture of him.
"W-who are you?"
"My name's Trini. Look, my and my team-" She jabbed her thumb in the direction of the huge frog. "-just want to talk to you about-."
"We need to speak with you now." Karolina said a she flew into view. Her colors flying everywhere. Victor looked terrified.
"Karolina," Trini tried to get the alien away. "I got this."
"Okay, but I'm here just in case-."
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Victor shouted; the bleachers suddenly turning into a hand.
"What are you...?" Karolina asked.
"Victor, wait! We just want to ta-." He smashed the hand in between Karolina and Trini.
"How...How did you do that?" Jorge asked.
"I have no idea." Victor admitted as he looked down at his hands.
"Do you think the negotiation's going well?" Jake asked as he and the group walked off the Frogger.
Karolina flew past them and Trini landed right in front of Jake.
"What the hell!" Chase asked as he watched Karolina fall to the ground.
"Trini, you okay?" Jake kneeled down to help her out.
"Ugh," She groaned as she grabbed her head. "Yeah but Victorious over there flipped a switch when Karolina jumped in."
"So much for your peacenik plan, Gandhi. I'm gonna beat the life outta this freak." Chase decleared as he put his fists up.
"With what, Great White Hope, you bare hands?" Nico stepped in front of him. "If you really want to be some help, go check on Karolina."
"Yeah, we got enough Girl Power to handle this loser." Molly jabbed her thumb at Victor; who was walking towards them with his hands in the air.
"I...I give up!" He shouted. "Just don't hurt anyone!" He then took a good look at Trini and Jake. "What is this? Are you guys the Young Avengers I've read about?"
"Ick, I should make Old Lace rip out your liver for saying that." Gert patted Gert's snout. "We're not superheroes, okay?"
Victor gawked at Old Lace. "You guys have a dinosaur...named Old Lace?"
"Yeah, and I have a headache the size of a watermelon." Trini groaned as she tried to get up.
"Uh, sorry about that. I..uh-." Victor started.
"Just stay cool." Nico ordered as she started walking towards him. "And, I promise, everthing will be fine."
"I have no clue what this is even about!" Victor exclaimed. "Am I...A mutant?"
"You wish." Molly pushed him.
"No, please, stay back. I can't...Control myself." Victor's arm suddenly conducted electricity and electricuted Molly.
"Molly!" Jake shouted as he ran over to catch her.
"ROCKSTARS." Nico pointed her Staff at Victor; red spiked balls shot out of it. But Victor was able to jump out of the way...higher than anyone expected.
Which caused the Rockstars to hit Old Lace. Gert covered her head and screamed out in pain.
When Victor landed, he had the hugest smile on his face; excitement rushed throughout his body. "Holy...Did you see how high I jumped!"
"Yeah, did you see how many scars I have on my knuckles?" Jake swung and punched Victor in the jaw. "Take a closer look!"
Victor fell to the floor unconsious.
"Well, so much for asking him few questions." Nico sighed. She cocked a brow when she saw Jake shaking his hand. "You okay, Jake?"
"Yeah, just Dandy." He rubbed one of his knuckles. "Does this kid have a jaw made of steal or some shit."
"That bad?" Molly asked as she grabbed her hat.
"You guys okay?" Chase asked as he hobbled over with Karolina. "'Cause Karolina's gonna be fine after she takes a sunbath or whatever."
"We're fine, Chase." Nico reported.
"Just some sympathy pain from me." Gert rubbed the back of her head.
"And my freakin hairs all staticky!" Molly cried as she tried to smooth her hair down.
"Well, Chase, go fire up the Frogger." Nico ordered. "While the girls and I figure out what to do with this boy."
"What you're going to be doing is keeping your hands to yourself, Sister..." The kids turned to see a group of Superheroes standing before them. "And learn how to act your age."
