Ronnie Anne is in her room, thinking about what happened to her uncle. It has been a week after the Shocker attack at the museum and it caused him to lose his left arm. So far even since she got her powers her mom got murdered and now her Uncle Carlos lost his left arm.
"Sometimes I wish I never moved to Great Lakes City." Ronnie Anne sighed.
"What now?" Sid asked as she climbed down the fire escape.
"Oh hey Sid." Ronnie Anne greeted with depressed tone.
"Something wrong?" Sid asked.
"My uncle Carlos lost his left arm after the Shocker. How can I be a hero when I can't save my family?" Ronnie Anne asked. "My mom died and my uncle lost his left arm, so far I'm already the worst hero of all time."
"Hey don't say that. You're just having a rocky start." Sid pointed out. "I think every hero has a rocky start. Take a look at Ben 10, I mean he started a forest fire by mistake, I'm sure that Shazam guy had problems with his adult body."
"Yeah but they didn't have to see their mom's dead bodies." Ronnie Anne replied.
"I was trying to cheer you up." Sid said.
Then the two hear a knock on the door. "Hey Ronnie Anne! Dad's taking the two of us out for dinner, you better get ready." Bobby said from behind the door.
"I'm coming." Ronnie Anne called out. "I gotta go Sid."
"I'll see you later." Sid said as she climbed up the fire escape.
Roberto, Bobby and Ronnie Anne are at a Thai restaurant, looking at the menus. "So how was your day kids?" Roberto asked.
"I was talking to Sid." Ronnie Anne said.
"Nothing special happened today dad." Bobby replied.
"Oh I thought something happened?" Roberto said.
"Nope, just same old, same old." Bobby replied.
"So why did you take us out for dinner?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"I'm glad you asked sweetie. Your dad's a new doctor for Great Lakes City memorial hospital." Roberto said both surprising his kids.
"Wait you're here to stay?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"You got that right. I need to be there for your kids since your mom's passing." Roberto said.
"But what about the missionary?" Bobby asked.
"Someone already found my replacement." Roberto said. "And what a coincidence they found my replacement yesterday. I may not be a hero like the Avengers, but I can save everyday people."
"At least you would be a better man than Tony Stark." The Santiagos look to their left and see a middle aged man with fair skin, short brown hair, wearing a navy blue suit, over a white buttoned shirt, and a black tie and Roberto smiles.
"Norman?" Roberto questioned.
"Who else Roberto." Norman said as he and Roberto both shook hands. "I haven't seen you seen high school."
"I should say the same to you. I heard about your wife's passing, you have my condolences." Norman said.
"Thanks Norman. I'm sure she's in a better place." Roberto said. "Oh where are my manners. These are my kids, Bobby and Ronnie Anne."
"Nice to meet you sir." Bobby said.
"Um hi." Ronnie Anne said.
"So what are you and your kids doing here?" Norman asked.
"Oh were celebrating that I got a new job at the city's hospital." Roberto said.
"Congratulations to your new job. I'm meeting some investors here for a meeting." Norman explained. "Anyway we should meet up again for a drink sometime. Well depends on our schedules."
"I agree. It was nice seeing you again." Roberto said and they both shook hands and parted ways.
Meanwhile at Carlos' apartment, Carlos is trying to read his book but it was difficult. He had to book the down every time he wanted to turn the page, it was annoying but it was the only way to read. But he dropped the book and groaned.
"Sweetie, maybe I should help you?" Frida said.
"Frida I don't need your help. I can handle doing everyday tasks by myself." Carlos said.
"Carlos you don't have your left arm. You need all the help you need." Frida said.
"Yes, I know. But I feel less of a man." Carlos sighed. "We don't even have enough money for one of those robotic limbs."
"Maybe I can get a job?" Frida suggested. "It'll take us a long time, but we need to do some saving."
"I have nothing against you getting a job. But we need a lot of money to pay for medical bills." Carlos said.
"We're just gonna have to do some saving." Frida said. "I know the kids aren't going to like this, but you have make sacrifices in situations like this."
"I agree." Carlos said.
The next morning, everyone is at the dining room eating breakfast. "So you met Norman Osborn last night?" Hector asked.
"He and I were best friends in high school." Roberto said. "We parted ways when we went to college."
"Maybe he can give Carlos the money for his medical bills." Hector stated.
"Hector, I'm not gonna ask Norman for money." Roberto replied.
"Carlos and I need the money." Hector said.
"Well I don't care. Carlos and Frida's family will have to do some saving." Roberto said.
"I gave you my daughter's hand in marriage, gave me two grandchildren and this is how you repay me!?" Hector exclaimed.
"Yes, because I don't want to be a bad friend!" Roberto shouted back.
"I'm going to school." Ronnie Anne said as she grabbed her backpack and skateboard. "Bye dad, bye grandpa!" Ronnie Anne said as put her helmet on as she exits the apartment.
As Ronnie Anne skated down the streets to school, she get two text messages from Lincoln and Lisa Loud. "Hey Ronnie Anne, I heard about your Uncle's amputation, I have a colleague who can give your uncle a replacement arm. I just need to give him a call." She read the message and then read the next text message. "Hey Ronnie Anne, Halloween is around the corner, hope you're feeling fine after your mom's passing?" Ronnie Anne read.
"I'm doing fine." Ronnie Anne texted Lincoln and moved onto texting Lisa. "Thanks little nerd." Ronnie Anne texted and smirked.
Throughout the day, Carlos is trying to get through the day with only arm. So far it's not going so good, he could only hold one item at a time, and it was hurting him inside. Once the day comes to a end he packed up his suitcase and looked at his phone. "I better get going." Carlos sighed.
As he walked through the halls, he looked at the biology lab. "I better double check the lab." Carlos said as he walked into the lab. He made sure everything is right, but he looks at a serum that a new doctor was working on. "If this is correct. I may have created a serum that can regrow lost limbs like most lizards by mixing lizard DNA." Carlos read.
Carlos began to think about either regain his left arm or have his family go through savings and such. So Carlos grabs the serum and injects it into his left shoulder. "Please work." Carlos begged, then he sees his left arm regrowing. But then he started to get woozily and fell down to the floor.
Then a giant lizard arm with claws pop out of the table and leaves claw marks on the table.
Yeah you all saw this coming. How will Ronnie Anne be able to fight her Lizard Uncle? Find out next time.
