Here's another update hope you enjoy.


Don't Judge a Book By It's Cover

At 13:34pm, the team was heading for the beach for some relaxation. "I don't see why I have to be here!?" Jimmy groaned in the car.

"Come on bro." Sheen said driving the car, "You've been stuck in your lab for months you got to get some sun light."

"Aghh! Fine but what are we gonna tell people when they see my orange skin and green hair." Jimmy complained.

"We'll just tell them you got a bad tan and you dyed your hair green." Libby suggested.

"This is going to be a long day." Jimmy complained.

Just as the team were driving under the bridge a girl wearing a uniform looking physically drained was walking dazedly on the road. A driver saw her and panicked driving into one of the pillars causing the bridge to break apart.

Noticing what was happening the team got out of the car. "What are we going to do? We don't have our suits!" Libby shouted.

"Don't worry I thought something like this would happen." Jimmy replied. He gave everyone a tube containing gumballs.

"What's this?" Cindy asked.

Jimmy tried to explain, "The Neutron..."

"There's no time for that!" Cindy interrupted.

"Just chew the gum, blow a bubble and you'll be in your suits." Jimmy continued.

The team did as they were told and like Captain Man and Kid Danger(From another one of Nickelodeon series) they transformed into their superhero personas. "What happened to the clothes we were wearing before."

"No time for questions. Flash get all the civilians to safety." Jimmy ordered.

"Got it!" Sheen agreed speeding away.

"Invisible girl create a platform for Special girl to stand on, while Special girl you use you strength to hold up the bridge." Jimmy ordered.

"Got it." they said in unison. Libby created a platform with her new force field power for Cindy to stand on while Cindy held up the entire crumbling bridge with her immense strength.

"What should I do Jimmy?" Carl asked.

"Sorry pal. Your powers would do a lot more harm than good in this situation." Jimmy apologized.

"Oh. Okay." Carl said a bit disappointed.

Things were moving smoothly with the team until a piece of concrete broke off of the bridge directly under the drained girl. "No!" Jimmy shouted.

"Flash!" Cindy shouted.

"I can't." Sheen said already holding multiple people.

Just before the girl could be hit a blur passed Jimmy and Carl and saved her life. "What the!?" Jimmy said shocked.

It was revealed to be a beautiful redheaded girl. "Who's that!?" Cindy asked surprised.

"Don't know." Sheen replied having gotten his civilians to safety, "But she's fast."

"Are there anymore?" Cindy asked.

Sheen gave her a thumbs up and she let go of the bridge causing it to collapse.

The team went towards this new stranger. "Who are you?" Libby asked.

"And are you single?" Sheen asked flirtatiously.

Libby hit in the shoulder while the girl answered excitedly, "I'm Monica Brown and you guys are those costumed heroes that have been appearing in town."

"Guilty." Sheen said flexing his muscles.

"How did you do that?" Cindy asked.

"I got these strange powers after that weird thing hit town a few months ago." Monica replied.

"Well thanks for the assist." Cindy said shaking Monica's hand which made her smile in surprise.

The drained girl looked at Monica and immediately fainted. "What's up with her?" Carl asked.

"This has been happening to students at my school for the last few weeks." Monica replied.

"How about we leave before emergency services show up." Jimmy suggested.

"Will you come with us?" Libby asked.

"Sure." Monica replied with a devious smile which Carl noticed.

"Guys are we sure we should take this stranger to our secret hideout?" Carl asked.

"We did with you and Libby, and that worked out well enough." Jimmy commented.

"Then let's go." Sheen commented.


The team made it back to Jimmy's Lab where he examined Monica. "Well her body has been physically enhanced. Not to the extent of Cindy or Sheen but still very impressive." Jimmy commented.

"Thank you." Monica said a bit nervous.

"Gotta say girl you were amazing." Libby commented, "I mean how you just rushed into action. It took me a pep talk to do the same."

"Thank you, your so sweet and I love your shoes were did you get them?" Monica complemented Libby.

"Thanks. I got them on my last vacation in Paris." Libby gloated.

"Really!?" Monica said surprised.

While Monica and Libby were talking Carl looked on skeptically. "Hey Sheen." he called out to his friend.

"What bro?" Sheen asked.

"Do you get a bad vibe from that girl?" Carl asked.

"Well I get some kind of vibe."

"Dude, I'm serious." Carl stated.

"Fine, maybe she's a bit excitable, but that doesn't mean she's bad right?" Sheen replied.

"Well maybe." Carl replied.

At that moment an alarm went off. "What's that!?" Cindy asked.

Jimmy ran straight to his computer, "Its word from the base, the Eco terrorist cell the Green Fist has taken hostages and planted a bomb at the Retroville Mall."

"We gotta get there!" Cindy stated.

"Ya, and I'm coming." Jimmy stated.

"Not like you to go on the field bro." Sheen said surprised.

"Unfortunately I have to because non of you know how to diffuse a bomb." Jimmy replied.

"What about her?" Carl asked.

"I don't know." Cindy replied walking up to Monica, "So how about it. Want to take down some bad guys."

Monica smiled and answered, "Defiantly." shaking Cindy's hand.

The team changed into their costumes with Jimmy and Monica wearing black hoodies and masks.


At the Retroville Mall the Green Fist was making there rant to the police, "This "Mall" is an abomination on Mother Nature's precious rock."

At that moment the team showed up. Cindy went to one of the officers, "What's going on?" she asked.

"I'm sorry miss but you can't be here." he replied.

An army representative appeared before them, "Stand down, these ones have special clearance." she said pointing to the team.

The officer then answered Cindy's question, "They have over a hundred hostages in there."

"Don't worry we'll handle this chief." she said as the team walked through.

"I'm not the chief." the officer replied.

Jimmy told the team the plan, "Sheen you go through the back and get all the hostages out."

"Sure." Sheen replied.

"But be careful I don't want to test the full extent of your speed under fire. Cindy, Libby and Carl you guys to focus on making noise, draw them away from the bomb."

"And me?" Monica asked.

"You stick with me, I'll need protection." Jimmy stated.

"Maybe, I should be your protection." Carl suggested.

"No need pal. I need you to take out those terrorists." Jimmy replied.

Monica smiled at Cindy and said, "Good luck." touching her shoulder.

Inside the mall the Green Fist were keeping an way and in an instance one of the hostages just vanishes. "What the!?" one of the Green Fist's men said noticing. And in another instance more began to suddenly vanish. "Sam! Sam! You gotta come here." he shouted calling one of his fellow soldiers.

"What!?" she shouted walking over to him.

"I saw some hostages just disappear." he stated.

"They ran! Where!?" she asked.

"No they just flat out disappeared." he replied.

More of the hostages began vanishing at a faster rate. "Boss!" she shouted running towards a man next to the bomb, "We have a problem."

A loud piercing noise enveloped the entire mall causing glass to shatter and everyone in and outside to grab their ears. At that moment Cindy, Libby and Carl came in. The terrorists pulled out their guns and began firing. Everyone took cover and began their attacks; Carl blasted a few of them away with a sonic attack, Libby created a force field to protect herself from the bullets and Cindy went to challenge the biggest guy in the room.

Cindy went in and tried to punch him, but her strikes barely phased the Goliath, "What the!?" she said to herself. The behemoth punched her once in the face which sent her flying. She got back up to find she was bleeding from the lower part of her mouth. "That's impossible." she said in shock.

The man pulled out his gun and said, "Guess this is it for you." he pulled the trigger and before the bullet could hit her Sheen raced in and moved her to safety.

"Are you okay? Normally you would have turned that guy inside out." Sheen asked concerned.

"I don't know I suddenly feel weak." Cindy said in a dazed state.

"You stay here and we'll handle the rest." Sheen said super speeding off.

Carl took down more terrorists with his blasts while Libby was letting the ones she was facing finish their ammunition. When they finally ran out she asked, "You done? Great." she created a dome around the terrorists trapping them, "Now don't go anywhere." she joked.

The leader was staying by the bomb when Jimmy and Monica showed up. "You bastards stay there or I'll blow this place to hell." he shouted.

"Will you now." Monica said sadistically. She went to grab the detonation remote from the man moving faster than she did before grabbing his wrist breaking it forcing him to accidentally activating the bomb.

Jimmy ran towards the bomb. "How much time do we have!?" Monica asked.

"About thirty seconds." he answered. In that moment Jimmy had everybody biting their nails with only 2 seconds to spare he disarmed the bomb. "That was close." he said collapsing to the ground.


The team went back to the lab to celebrate their big win, "Bring out the premium purple flurp Carl we need to celebrate!" Jimmy shouted.

The team began to have a little party, Carl went up to Cindy and asked, "Are you okay, you seemed pretty out of it."

"Ya, it was weird one second I was completely fine, then we get into the mall it feels like all my strength has disappeared then when we came back here I feel fine again." Cindy explained.

"Would you say you felt drained after Monica touched you?" Carl asked.

"I guess so." Cindy answered.

"Thanks." Carl said going straight for Jimmy, "Dude, I think we need to keep a closer eye on Monica."

"Why, she did fine on the field." Jimmy replied.

"It's just there's something off about her." Carl stated.

"Carl you really need to get off of this, even if Monica has some kind of quirk, this team is all about second chances. Remember I trusted you even though you tried to kill Libby and those people." Jimmy explained.

"Maybe you're right." Carl agreed.

Monica got the attention of everyone at the party, "Hey guys even though this place is bangin'. There's an even better party at this place I know, you wanna come?"

"Sure." Cindy replied.

"You bet." Sheen replied.

"I'm in." Libby replied.

"Why not." Jimmy replied.

"Maybe next time, I got something I have to do." Carl replied.

"Aww, is there nothing I can say to change your mind?" Monica asked Carl.

"No, not really." he replied.

"Fine if you change your mind, here's the address." Monica replied writing the address on a paper and giving it to Carl.


At 20:45pm, Carl went to the hospital to see the same girl that caused the accident earlier. He entered her room, "May I have a word?" he asked.

"About?" she asked back.

"Monica Brown." Carl answered.

"Who?" she asked.

Carl pulled out his phone and showed her a picture of Monica, "I don't know who this Monica person is but that girl's name is Jennna Johnson."

"What can you tell me about her?" Carl asked.

"Well nothing really, she mostly kept to herself but something weird started happening with her." the girl stated.

"What?" Carl asked.

"She suddenly started being good at everything she did."

"How's that weird?"

"Well the thing is she used to suck at well everything. She wasn't that smart or athletic then like overnight she suddenly became a superstar."

"Really!?" Carl asked shocked.

"Ya, and funny enough all the top students in our school started getting really sick, as if all their strength was drained."

"Is that what happened to you?"

"Well I wouldn't say I'm that good at anything but I am a decent cheerleader. I suddenly felt really drained after practice with Monica, but now I feel fine as if..."

"Nothing ever happened. I see. Thank you for your time." Carl said walking away.

"You know you're kind of cute. Here's my number." the girl said handing Carl a paper with her number.

"Uhm, thanks." he replied taking it nervously.


At an abandoned factory Monica took the team inside. "Lets go!" Monica shouted excitedly pulling Cindy.

The team entered the building and saw it was completely deserted, "Are we fashionably early." Libby asked.

"No, we're right on time." Monica answered.

"So where's everybody?" Jimmy asked.

"Is anybody hungry?" Monica asked.

"Dude, I'm getting a weird vibe." Sheen whispered to Jimmy.

"Because I'm famished." Monica stated. Suddenly Cindy began to groan in pain.

"What are you doing!?" Jimmy shouted.

"For weeks I've been munching down on third rate losers, taking their skills and abilities." Monica stated.

"You steal peoples powers!" Libby shouted shocked.

"Yup, in a sense you could say I become them, I can do everything they can, I even have their memories. Unfortunately it only lasts a few hours and my victim will slowly recover." she continued, "I had to keep taking more and more, I was beginning to wonder if I was ever going to be satisfied until I met her." she said raising Cindy up, "The Pièce de rèsistance, Special girl."

"Guys get her!" Jimmy shouted.

Sheen supersped straight at Monica, using her new superspeed reflexes she managed to catch Sheen, "To slow Flash." she said starting to drain his powers, causing him to groan in pain, tossing him aside when she was done with him.

Libby created a dome around Monica, "You're not going anywhere!" Monica began to hit the dome causing Libby groan.

"What's wrong!?" Jimmy shouted.

"Every time something hits my force fields, it feels like I take the hit in my head." Libby replied.

Monica kept hitting the force field until Libby couldn't handle the pain anymore and dropped it. She super sped towards Libby and proceeded to drain her powers.

She then slowly walked towards Jimmy and grabbed him and drained his abilities. Monica went and chained the group to a pillar, "For the first time in a long time, I'm sated."

"Don't worry guys Carl will save us." Jimmy stated.

"That lard ass, with the power I'm packing no one can defeat me." Monica laughed.


Carl was trying to get a hold of his friends on his phone, "Come on why aren't they answering." he eventually got a call from Jimmy.

Carl: Dude you have to get out of there, Monica's...

Monica: Hey, Carly.

Carl: You! I know what you are!

Monica: To little to late. I've already had my fill with you're friends powers now I want some desert. How about your sound powers, Carly.

Carl: Like I'd do that!

Monica: The way I see it. You don't really have a choice. If you care about your friends you'll come here to try and fail to save them, if you try to bring anyone else they will die. So what are you going to do.

"Carl don't." Jimmy groaned in the background, "She'll steal all your abilities."

Monica: Oh, he's talking again, dinner time.

Monica cut the phone call. "She steals a persons abilities." Carl said to himself, he thought for a moment and had an idea.


Back at the factory Monica was getting impatient waiting for Carl, "Come on I've been waiting an hour. Maybe he decided to do the smart thing and run." Monica complained.

"Carl wouldn't do that." Sheen barely said in Carl's defense.

"Ya, will see." Monica replied.

At that moment Carl walked into the building, "So you're here." Monica stated.

"Ya, with my secret weapon." Carl replied.

"Oh ya." Sheen shouted, "Let her have it. What did you bring; a gun, poison." Carl pulled out a glass jar of peanut butter, "Where doomed." Sheen groaned.

Carl threw the jar as hard as he could and blasted it mid air with his sonic attack, breaking the jar and splattering the peanut butter on Monica, "Ahh! My hair!" she shouted, "What was that supposed to do?" she asked.

"You'll see." Carl answered cryptically.

Carl went on to attack Monica with his sonic blasts, she used Libby's force field as a defense, When Carl began to tire out, she used her superspeed to grab him, "A fifth course, no I couldn't, maybe a just a nibble, I have been a glutton today." she proceeded to drain Carl's powers, "You taste divine." she complemented, tossing him aside like trash. With a smile on her face she began her rant, "Now with all your powers coursing through me I can...I can..." she tried to say gasping for air, "W...what's happening to me?" she asked as her face began to swell.

"It worked!" Carl chuckled.

"What worked." she asked.

"I figured if you get our abilities as a meal then you might get our weaknesses as a side dish and I'm severely allergic to peanuts. It's so severe that If I'm even in contact with them, I might as well be a dead man."

"I...gotta...get...out...of..." she desperately tried to say collapsing to the ground.

"Aww, poor baby, was it something you ate." Carl gloated, "And now its time for a nap." he said going to sleep.

"Carl! Carl! You forgot to untie us!" Sheen shouted.


The next day the team had recovered from Monica's power drain, "I think we're all at a hundred percent guys." Jimmy said to the team.

Everyone agreed testing their powers, Jimmy walked up to Carl and apologized, "I'm sorry I didn't listen to you."

"Ya, you had that crazy chick pegged from the start." Sheen agreed.

"Guys it was nothing." Carl blushed.

"No Carl it wasn't." Jimmy disagreed, "You felt something off about Monica from the start and you found a way to defeat her with the limited data you got. You have great instincts Carl and from now on I will trust them."

Carl smiled at Jimmy, "Ya, guess there's a lot more to you than meets the eye." Cindy complimented.

"Yup." Libby agreed.

Carl continued to blush from the praise, "Ah, guys I might have good instincts when it comes to bad guys but I might need your help with something."

"What?" Libby asked.

"You see this girl gave me her number..."

"Don't worry I'll tell you exactly what you need to do." Libby interrupted.

"You!" Sheen said shocked, "I doubt you've ever even kissed anyone." Sheen teased.

"I so have!" Libby argued.

"Never mind her, bro if you ask her out, the first thing you do is plan three dates." Sheen explained.

"Three!?" Carl asked confused.

"Ya." Libby agreed, "For sunny, cloudy and rainy weather."

"And make sure you have at least, ten stories." Sheen continued.

"Why?" Carl asked.

"So that you seem interesting." Libby answered.

While Libby and Sheen were giving Carl tips, Cindy said to Jimmy, "You know you caused a lot of damage when your chamber exploded."

"Tell me something I don't know." Jimmy replied.

"But this." she said gesturing to the rest of the team, "This is nice."

Jimmy smiled at her confession, "You might be right Vortex." he walked up to the rest of the team, "Hey Carl, how about I run a background check on her."


At Black Creek prison, Monica was in her cell carving up the walls with a spoon drawing images of Carl, "Why do you keep drawing that?" her cellmate asked.

"I don't know, but what I do know is I absolutely hate it." Monica replied.

"Why do I always get stuck with the crazies." her cellmate commented.


At an unknown location Stone was building a strange looking machine.
