The original is the 12th episode which is very confusing so I decided to fix the story by making this chapter 8
*I don't own anything! All rights belong to their rightful owners! Except for Gwen's original Powers of this story, and my character concepts of Mary Jane Watson, that's mine!*
At the school football field, Karen seemed to be heading to class.
"DUDE! OMG! #SoExcited! Can't wait for our BIG SURPRISE for the girls, after school!" Karen said as she read the text from Babs. "I hope they like it," Karen said as she was texting. "And I hope Mr. Stark would like it if he was seen to." she continued as she stated one of her idols. Just then she gets hit by a football. "Aah!" she shouted. The football that hit Karen appeared to be from the school bully, Doris Zuel, along with her accomplice, Leslie Willis.
"Hey, Beecher. Heads up." she said as they began laughing. "Oh...! Um... Hi, Doris. Fancy meeting you here while I was taking the extra, extra long way to Chemistry class." Karen stated. "Hey! I went to Chemistry class once. I know where that is!" Doris said. "Tell you what. Why don't we escort you?" she offered, but it turned out Doris and Leslie took Karen to the locker room. "Uh... you guys...? Um... This isn't actually the Science building." Karen stated.*
"This isn't the Science building." Doris mocked. "Karen You see, Beecher, that's your problem. You irritate me. You bug me. You're a puny little insect." she stated. "And you know what Doris does to bugs... She squashes them." Leslie said.
"Yeah." Doreen said as she then grabs Karen and makes her punch her face. "Why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yourself?" she repeated while doing it "Ok, Doris, very funny." Karen said as it wasn't funny. "You thought that was funny? Maybe you need a little time to yourself to think about how comedy works." Leslie stated
"Yeah! Get in there and think about how comedy works!" Doris said as she was about to put Karen in her locker. "Wait!" Karen shouted. "I can do it myself." She then went inside the locker. Gwen and Kamala then sees Doris and Leslie shoving Karen into a locker, and he comes to see what's going on. "Hey, what's going on here?" Kamala asked. Gwen sighs and says, "its, Zuel."
"Putting a comedian in here for some time alone. What are you going to do about it?" she asked. Then all of a sudden a certain blue furred beast came in. "Ahem!" Beast said. Doris got surprised as she turned around to see… "Oh, Mr. McCoy. I uh…!"
"Ms. Zuel, what did I tell you to stop bullying people?" Beast said. Kamala was surprised by who she saw. "Its the Beast of the X-men!" Kamala said. "I know." Gwen said. "Doesn't the blue fur didn't tell. "Well... I was just... I mean, I…" Doris was startled by the way Beast was staring at her. "Now, Ms. Zuel, wouldn't you want you to expand your detention plans now would we?" Beast asked. "No." Doris said in a worried look. "Good, now I expect you to be in class soon." Beast said. "Yes sir." Doris stuttered as she and Leslie then walked away. "Mr. McCoy! I don't know what to say, it's just I'm just a big fan and I-I," Kamala was trying to say something but felt nervous, that's when Gwen stepped in. "You'll have to excuse her, Mr. McCoy, but what she means to say is, it was really nice that you stood up to Zuel for one our friends." Gwen said. "Why thank you Ms. Stacy, the thing about bullies is, "Because you're so insecure, You will never beat me of that I am sure", Phoebe-Jane McDonald-Conlon says. Beast stated with a line of a poem he recently read before. "Oh, By the way, why did Doris called you "McCoy?" Kamala asked.
"Yeah, I thought you're a teacher of the institute?" Gwen joined in too. "Well you see, I'm just substituting for a teacher here in Metropolis because the original is out with a stomach flu." Beast stated. "Really?" the duo asked. "Yes, besides it would be interesting to see the kryptonian of this town up close." Beast said. "Now, let me help you get your friend out." He said as he went off to get Karen out of her locker, along with the duo.
Beast uses his claw to pick the lock from the locker that was holding Karen, however as soon as he opens the door… Karen screamed and said, "Monster!" as she pointed her finger at Beast. "No, No this is Beast, one of the X-men!" Kamala stood in for Beast. "Yes indeed my friend I can tell you I am completely harmless for now." Beast said. 'When's the time when he's not harmless?' Gwen thought as she meant how Beast fights with the X-men. "Okay, let me and Mr. McCoy explain everything to you Karen." Kamala said. "After class." She was walking with Karen, while Gwen and Beast followed along.
Later, after school, Babs, Karen, Gwen, and Kamala were on their way to the base.
"That's the fifth time this month." Karen said, looking down. "I don't get it! What did I ever do to her?" she asked. Babs was eating an apple. "Nothing. Psychological profiles of bullies suggest they target the small and weak." Babs was explaining but she was stopped by Karen, Kamala and Gwen. "Babs!" the duo said, in anger.
"Sorry. I meant the small and... awesome?" Babs felt awkward about what she said. "Apple?" she offered to get out of it. "Don't mind if I do." Kamala grabbed it and ate it. "There's nothing awesome about being small, believe me." Karen said. "Why could I start off big like Iron Man? He has the coolest suits, and I'm just a kid with a shrinking suit." she stated to one her idols once again. "You know something, Tony didn't always start with something big!" Kamala said. "Really?" Karen asked. "Yeah, like you Tony started off small, not the shrinking kind, but he started in a small cave and all he had to start to create his fancy armor was a tin can and a bobby pin." Kamala stated about Tony Stark's origins. "Wow! I never knew that!" Karen was amazed. "Yeah, and wasn't Tony Stark your inspiration for your tech?" Gwen asked.
"R-r-right," Karen said. "I was inspired by Wasp, but she's a tiny member of the Avengers, why would they recruit her to the team?" Karen asked. "It actually is awesome to be small, Karen." Gwen said. "Really?" Karen asked. "Yeah, she may not be the brightest like spider-man, but Wasp, she may shrink down super tiny, but she's brave, headstrong, and heavyhearted, she really looks out for the Avengers." Gwen said. "So no matter how small she is, Wasp can handle anything." Kamala said.
"That is cool! Way to go to support her, you guys!" Babs said. "All thanks to our great mentor who gave us advice about being a hero." Gwen said as she meant by how she and Kamala were mentored by her big brother figure, Spider-Man while having flashbacks of everything Peter taught her.
"So did you say that one of the X-men was your substitute in chemistry class?" Babs asked. "Yeah, It was Beast." Kamala explained. "Wow! So was he awesome?" Babs asked. "No, I mean he was actually the Beast of the X-men!" Kamala told Babs, which left her confused. "We'll explain later." Gwen said. "Anyway Karen, it's the size of your height that make you who you are, its the size of the brain that matters." Gwen explained. "I really appreciate what you're saying, Gwen." Karen said. "But me being small, that's all gonna change after today." she said as she continued walking.
Meanwhile, Doris was at home, lifting weights and video chatting with Leslie.
"You need some material, Doris. "Why are you hitting yourself?"" Leslie mocked Doris as she gagged about it. "Whatever. It's classic." Doris said. "What about that Blue gorilla guy? You know from the X-men?" Leslie asked about Beast. "Oh, you mean that substitute! That guy is a total weirdo." Doris stated.
"Really?" Leslie asked. "Then why are you afraid of him?" She questions Doris more. "I thought the new substitute was going to be a wimpy nerd, but he turned out to be intimidating. Why would one of the team of mutant weirdos be our substitute teacher for chemistry class?" as Doris was explaining it more, she then loses grip on the dumbbell and then falls down. Leslie started laughing and said, "A meathead falling on her keister? Now, that's classic."
"Shut it, Leslie." she said as she shut her laptop. Then that's when her parents, who turned out to be scientists "...Uh, ever heard of knocking, dweebs?" She asked as they entered without alerting her. "Uh, daddy and I are leaving for the science conference now, okay?" Franchise Zuel asked.
""The science conference..."" Doris mocked. "FINE! Whatever!" she shouted as she didn't cared. "Have fun with your sporting activities, sweetums. Love you." Beartrice said. As her parents drove off, she flexed one of her muscles, but it easily deflated. "I gotta pump up." Doris said to herself.
She then enters a science room, with a bunch of chemicals as she walks by, and grabs a certain orange chemical and puts it in an injection gun. Doris chuckled and said, "Yeah." she then injects herself, then her eyes turned orange as veins started to pop. "PUMPED UP!" she shouted.
Meanwhile, at the base, Kara, Zee, Diana, Jessica, Gwen, and Kamala, were watching TV, and the latest news from the Daily Bugle. "Mary Jane Watson of the Daily Bugle here, you want superhero news? Well I got some juicy ones for you." Mary Jane said while doing her report then a video of the Avenger's latest mission was playing. "Last week, Latveria's evil ruler, Doctor Doom, had prepared an evil army of Doom bots to attack the town square, until he was stopped by…You guessed it!" then the Avengers fighting off against the Doom Bots. "The Avengers, the ws mightiest heroes! We owe it all to you for keeping our world safe…" that's when Kara turned off the TV. "Hey I was watching that!" Kamala shouted. "Pa-lease!" Kara said. "We keep hearing about the Avengers all day!" she stated. "Yeah, and is Doctor Doom the Fantastic 4's enemy?" Jessica asked. "Well… It's complicated." Kamala said.
"So, what's the surprise that Babs and Karen are talking about?" Gwen asked. That's when Babs stepped in. "Ladies, and Ladies! May I present to you the new, the improved, BUMBLEBEE!" Babs said as she then started humming fanfare music. Then Bumblebee came out wearing a brand new set of armor, looking exactly like a bee.
Everyone then started to applaud for Karen's new suit. "Karen, it is simply divine." Zee complimented. "Yeah, I may be a techie, but you hit the head with a nail on it." Gwen said. "Battle armor befitting a true warrior." Diana said. "If Wasp or Tony were here they would be very impressed!" Kamala said as she grew her hands to a bigger for a big thumbs up."It looks awesome, kid. What's it do?" Kara asked, as Kamala got her hands back to normal size.
"Well... um... We've added these thin film photovoltaic modules to make the suit solar-powered." Karen explained. "Plus, they make her look like a bee." Babs stated. "I modified the wing mechanism so there's a more dulcet tone to the way they buzz." She said as she demonstrated. "LIKE A BEE!" Babs shouted, which started to annoy Karen. 'Yeesh, what is she captain obvious?' Gwen thought to herself.
"And we're working on quartz prisms in the goggles that will emit an electrical sting." Karen stated with her new feature. Babs then started nuzzling Bumblebee and said, "Like a cute little bee." "Okay, Babs, we get it!" Gwen said. "But hey, at least most of those features are original to the Wasp." Kamala stated how the Wasp is designed. "And now there's one more thing I gotta try," Karen said, then she took a deep breath and said, "Here goes." Then she presses a button from one of her gauntlets. Then as triumph music was playing she started to get bigger by a minute until…
It backfired and she ended up shrinking instead. Everyone applauded in a weird way "Um... Yay?" Zee said. "Yeah, you shrunk... differently?" Kara thought. "Oh no! I thought we finally fixed the growth tech. I'm not supposed to shrink, I'm supposed to grow!" Karen stated, she then flies and lands on Zee's finger. "Aww, but you're so cute small."
"Cute and useless. How am I supposed to stand up to the bad guys when I'm just a…" Karen flies back, grows back to her normal size, and takes off helmet, "puny little insect?" she told to herself. "That's not true, you may look small, but you can still stand up for yourself!" Kamala said. "Here I'll show you!" she then stretched her arm to grab the remote from Kara. "Hey!" Kara shouted. Here let me show you!" Kamala said as she turned on the TV again, to show the Avengers again especially on the Wasp. "See Karen, Look how Wasp is super small and isn't bothered by it." Kamala said as Karen was watching how Wasp was pretty brave
"You see, It doesn't matter what your size is, Karen, if you only use your brain." Kamala said. "Like Tony Stark does too." she continued with more advice, that's when Kara then turned off the TV once again. 'Why does she always ruin the fun?' Kamala thought.
"Thanks, Kamala." Karen returned the compliment. "But I need to fix my suit in order to get it working." she stated "It's ok, I bet we just inverted the zeta thingy when we had to cross-wire that one thing because we were out of those thingy thingies. Remember?" Babs asked. "Yeah. Maybe." Karen responded. "Then let us procure the correct thingies." Diana suggested "Quick trip to the mall, and we'll have the whole thing sorted out." Babs joined in.
"Well, as much as I hate to miss a trip to the mall, my father and I have a show tonight." Zee explained her plan for today. "And I'm protesting the show for using animals." Jessica said. "Oh, cool. We can share a cab." Zee suggested. "I'd love to come, but my parents need me for a tradition that we got to take, and they won't appreciate it if i come in late." Kamala explained her plan. Gwen then took a deep breath and said, "if that's more important than this, it's okay." "Hey, don't worry Karen. I know you'll get it." Jessica said. "All right, then. Let's go."
Later at the mall, Doris seemed to be walking around a fitness store.
"Hey, little lady. Looking for yoga mats?" an employee asked her. "Free weights." Doris responded. "Ah, free weights. For a dance aerobics class, I bet." the employee asked, however Doris wasn't too happy for what the employee was asking.
"You look strong for a girl. How 'bout... hmm.." the employee pulls out small weights. "oh, some three-pounders." and he gave it to Doris. "Do I look like I want... THREE-POUNDERS?!" DOris shouted in anger, then she started to grow into a giant, which made the employee gulp nervously.
Meanwhile, Gwen, Karen, Kara, Babs, and Diana had arrived. As Babs was helping Diana with the escalators. "Ready... Step!" Babs said as she helped Diana step of the escalator. "Huzzah! I survived the mechanical stairs." Diana said. "Okay?" Gwen said with confusion.
Babs notices some glittery cowls as she gasps and says, "The new Gotham glory line of cowls are in!" she then squealed as she ran into the store.
"While you guys do your nerd stuff, I'm gonna go grab some chili fires. Come get me when you're done." Kara said while walking off. "And I'm heading to the music store, I hear they got some beats from New York." Gwen said while heading off too.
"Lead on, young Karen. Let us do our nerd stuff." Diana said. Then they were off to the Hardware store, when suddenly, many sports equipment were thrown everywhere! "Great Hera. What is the cause of such mayhem?" Diana asked, until Karen sees something as she points to it too. It turns out Doris now appears as a giant cave woman now!
"Puny man! How DARE you insult GIGANTA!" She shouted as she went for a new villain name. The employee got super scared as he ran away. "NOW ALL SHALL FEEL MY RAAAAAATTH!" she shouted as she then broke a basketball goal and threw it.
Diana quickly turns into Wonder Woman, and grabs the basketball goal just in a nick of time.
"Citizens, clear the area. We shall dispose of this brute." Wonder Woman told everyone as most of the people in the mall managed to run away. "Come, Karen, to battle!" Wonder Woman shouted as she jumped toward Giganta into battle.
"But my suit, it's not- Ready." Karen said. Wonder Woman lends out a battle cry as she then punches Giganta's nose, but it hurted for a little. Karen then runs off to the hardware store to prepare her suit. Even though Giganta was enjoying it as she was laughing
Wonder Woman looks at a hockey stick and got an idea, she slides under Giganta and then grabs the hockey stick. Meanwhile Karen dumps a bucket of hardwire stuff and begins to search through parts. "Uh... where is it?" she says while searching
Back with Wonder Woman, she spins the hockey stick and motions Giganta to come at her. However, Giganta grabbed a huge barbell and took one of the ends off and put it on the other end, intending to use it as a club. Both entered in battle with their weapons, however Giganta can't land a hit with her barbell club.
Back with Karen she was working on her suit but she got shocked. "Ow!" Karen shouted. "Come on, Karen. Focus." she told herself until a fountain gets thrown through the window. Karen screamed in fear then saw a fountain and said, "Oh no!"
Wonder Woman keeps hitting Giganta with a hockey stick until it breaks after she uses it on her. "Ha." she shouted then she took out Lasso. "Let us see how you stand up to the Lasso of Truth." she said to the giant villain, Then she wrapped Giganta's arm with her Lasso. However, Giganta was able to tie Wonder Woman up with her Lasso, then hung her on a sign that says "BIG TIME CLOSET", but she knocked off the C and T to spell "BIG TIME LOSE".
"The Lasso compels me to tell the truth. This is humiliating." Diana said while Giganta laughed at her. "Where's that 20 ohm resistor?" Karen asked herself. Meanwhile Kara was walking back while eating a hot dog until she saw the fight. "Seriously?" she asked, then she quickly became Supergirl. "Hey, meatbrain!" Supergirl shouted. "Huh?" Giganta turned around to see Supergirl coming at her.
"Over here." Supergirl then started to punch Giganta multiple times, but Giganta was still standing and wasn't looking too happy. She then grabs Supergirl and tosses her around like a rag doll. "That's all you got?" Supergirl asked while getting tossed around. Giganta then grabs her and spins her around, throwing her out of the mall, into the city.
Meanwhile, Babs had just finished shopping, and she noticed what was going on. Babs gasped and said, "a fight!" She then changes into Batgirl, then backflips over to Giganta, then grabs a tennis racket and takes out a grenade. "Tennis, anyone?" she thought while using the grenade as a tennis ball and it hit Giganta causing an explosion. "Yes." Batgirl said. However, Giganta seemed just fine, she then attacked Batgirl, but she managed to dodge it in time.
Meanwhile, Karen had just about finished her suit. "There. That should do it." Karen said as she thought, However, it short circuited. "Dang!" Karen shouted. Batgirl attaches a net to her Batarang and throws it at Giganta, capturing her, but she was able to break free easily. Giganta cracks knuckles as she is about to strike Batgirl "Eh, Deus?" Batgirl asked, but she got grabbed by Giganta and was made into a ball. Giganta then rolls her over to some mannequins, causing her to crash.
"Strike!" Giganta shouted. Gwen then was exiting the music store with some new soundtracks until she saw the situation on what's going on. "What in the…" Gwen turned her head to see Giganta. "Uh Oh!" she said. Gwen then hid behind a pillar and was looking around while switching into her costume. 'Great another muscle headed villain.' she thought while finishing up. 'Sorry Kamala if your not here for a bad guy fight, but someone has to stand up to her.' She finished thinking to herself while putting on her mask and becomes Ghost-Spider.
Then she jumps off the second floor and lands behind Giganta. "Hey, is it a little bit late to wear caveman style clothes, because I think it's a little outdated." Ghost-Spider teased giganta to get her attention which worked, because she got mad and turned around to see Ghost-Spider. Giganta growled and said, "I'll show you outdated!" and prepared to punch her, but then Ghost-Spider turned invisible right in front of her. "Huh, where did you go?" Giganta asked while trying to find Ghost-Spider. "Now you'll understand…" Ghost-Spider's voice came out of nowhere which started Giganta. "...Why they call me 'Ghost-Spider!'" She said then she started to punch her, Giganta tried to grab her but because Ghost-Spider was invisible, she couldn't grab her, but Ghost-Spider kept punching her, which she start to feel exhausted to grab Ghost-Spider that she fell on one knee.
Ghost-Spider then turned visible again and flipped to the second floor and landed in the safety bars of the stands. "Spider-Man taught me this new trick, cave lady!" Ghost-Spider said while shooting webs at two different locations like a slingshot and then gathered purple bio-energy. "With a little pressure of gravity plus my power lunge ability should equal Hulk-like momentum!" she said while pulling the webs like a slingshot, then she let go of the webs and she was slingshot right at Giganta with her feet right in front and shouted, "Ghost smash!" and she kicked Giganta hard. She then did a little flip and landed gracefully. "Ha, knew that would work." Ghost-Spider said. However Giganta got up looking alright! Giganta chuckled and said, "Is that the best you got?" while brushing the dust off her. "What!" Ghost-Spider was shocked by this. "But how?" she thought, but then she got over it and gathered bio-energy in her fist and went for a power lunge punch on Gigata's face, but she didn't feel a thing. "Uh Oh!" she said. Then Giganta grabs Ghost-Spider and throws her across the mall, which she crashes on the wall and is knocked down. 'How does Spider-Man handle meatheads like this?' Ghost-Spider said.
Karen looked at the situation and gasped and said, "Gwen! Hurry Karen. This is all on you now. Let's do this." She then decided she had no choice. Giganta was laughing at the defeated heroes until… "Hey you!" Bumblebee shouted flying behind Giganta. "Huh? Hmm." Giganta turns around to see Bumblebee while stomping her feet as well.
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" Bumblebee said as she then pressed the button on one of her gauntlets, then she started to grow as inspirational music was playing until… she shrunk again! "Oh, come on!" Bumblebee shouted as she wasn't too happy that it didn't work, but soon enough Giganta was about to crush her. "No, no, no, no, no!" Bumblebee shouted as she was about to be crushed, However, she was alive!
"What… I... I'm alive. And it's all because... I'm a puny little insect!" she said while she flew up through Giganta's fingers. "Huh?" she said as Bumblebee was right in front of her face. "Time to sweat the small stuff." Bumblebee said while she buzzed around Giganta. Giganta was trying to catch her but with no luck and that's when Bumblebee went inside of Giganta's clothes and started to move around, which then it started to tickle her until she fell down on bottom.
"Talk about a little fish in a big pond." Bumblebee joked until she saw Giganta charging which made her shriek. She then flies up as Giganta climbs, then she fires stingers at her, but to no effect on her. "Note to self. Upgrade stingers. Eek!" Bumblebee said, then Giganta tried to attack her with a punch. Bumblebee dodge Giganta punch, then gets an idea. As Giganta was about to punch Bumblebee, she flew up and made her punch herself, which the impact from her punch made her dizzy.
"Hey, why are you hitting yourself?" She joked as if she had one before she then pushed Giganta with finger. Giganta was screaming as she crashed through multiple floors, which caused a lot of car alarms to go off. "Did I do it?" Bumblebee asks herself while she then flies down where Giganta is, but sees she isn't there. "Nice work, kid!" Supergirl said "You have done Athena proud, young Karen." Wonder Woman complemented. "Grow tech, smowth tech!" Batgirl said. Then Ghost-Spider then went down where Bumblebee is. "No sign of the Cave woman." she said while looking around. "But good job Bee," Ghost-Spider said.
"Ha-ha, yeah." Bumblebee said. "Now, wanna go fight Doctor Doom for dessert?" Ghost-Spider asked as a joke. "Yeah... I guess I do…" she said as she started to swoon. "You know what, me too." Ghost-Spider started to feel tired and then Ghost-Spider and Bumblebee fainted.
The next day, Karen was walking to class. That's when Doris saw her. She then laughs and said, "Hey Beecher, heads up." and throws her football. However, Karen actually caught the ball! Doris was confused then said, "Hey, give me back my ball." Karen holds her football and then smirks, "Why don't you come and get it, meathead?" Doris got angry as she growled and started to chase her. Crud! Karen shouted as she started to run.
While Doris was chasing Karen, Gwen and Kamala were having a conversation while watching them. "I can't believe you actually got to fight a supervillain yesterday while I have to be stuck with a family tradition, why couldn't I get involved with…" Kamala was continuing until she saw Gwen looking down. "What's wrong?" Kamala asked. "I felt like I let Peter down." Gwen replied. "What do you mean?" Kamala asked more. "He always gets pinned or knocked down by one of his villains, he has the strength to get back up again, no matter how much pain he gets, but after today with Giganta, I felt like I failed him." Gwen explained. "Maybe I'm not cut out to follow in his footsteps." She said while looking down. "Hey it wasn't your fault Gwendy." Kamala said while putting her hand on Gwen's shoulder. "Even great superheroes like the Avengers make mistakes sometimes." Kamala stated. "And If Mr. Parker was here he would say, 'even if you made a simple mistake, you use it to keep on forward and achieve the great things we can accomplish." Kamala said, trying to give advice. "That's…actually what Pete would say, thanks Kamalakins," she then places her hand on Kamala's. Then she saw Doris still chasing her. "Looks like Mr. McCoy isn't here this time," Kamala said while looking around. "Wanna go help her?" she asked Gwen. "Yeah sure," Gwen said. "Class will begin soon and Karen has to be there." Gwen stated, then she and Kamala went down to help her friend.
