It was a nice afternoon at Jump City High, as in one of the classrooms; history was being taught, as the teacher was writing some stuff on the chalkboard, as the students were writing some of the things on the board on paper.
But sitting at the back of the class, Ava was resting her head on her left side, on her desk as she was fast asleep, as she couldn't stay aware due to her doing an all-night patrol last night and didn't get any sleep.
As Ava was in a deep sleep and dreaming of something…
(Ava's dream)
In her dream, in a large auditorium, this had full of people sitting at the seats,
On stage, there was a sophisticatedly dressed woman, who was holding a trophy in her right hand.
Now entering the stage was Ava, who was dress in a sophisticated looking green dress, as she walked over to the woman.
"Ava Ayala, for graduating both Harvard and Yale at the highest of honours, while also finding a cure for the common cold, while also single handedly delivered the Asari councilor's baby at the same time, we awarded you the greatest honour of the galaxy." The woman said to Ava, as she smiled at her and handed her the trophy.
Ava takes the trophy and held it close to her, as she smiles happily, as the audience was all standing up to applause for her, as Ava turned to face the crowd, clapping and cheering for her.
"Thank you, thank you, I know, I deserve it!" Ava said, smiling, as she was waving to the audience, as they kept cheering for her.
Ava was so happy, as she held her trophy close to her,
But then from out of nowhere…
PARP!
The loud sound of a fart came from Ava, which quickly made her lose her smile, and replace it with a shocked and embarrassed look as the audience immediately stopped applauding for her, as they heard her fart.
Ava stood there, completely frozen, as she stared at the crowd, with Blank White Eyes, no nose, as her face was going completely red with embarrassment,
Then everyone in the auditorium started laughing at Ava, pointing their fingers at her, as they were laughing hard,
Ava completely froze up with embarrassment for their laughter at her, until the trapdoor that was underneath Ava's feet opens which drops Ava down, as she screamed as she plummeted down.
(End of Ava's Dream)
As Ava was stirring in her sleep,
"Ava! AVA!" The teacher yelled out, as she was looking at her,
Ava quickly wakes up and lifted up her head, as she had a look of panic on her face, "I DIDN'T FART!" Ava screamed out in terror,
This made everyone in the classroom stop writing and turned to look at Ava, as they looked weirded out at hearing her yell out that she didn't fart, as Ava had a look of embarrassment as she just humiliated herself by yelling that.
The teacher had a straight face, as she crosses her arms, "Thank you admitting that (!)" She told Ava, sarcastically.
As all the students in the class started laughing at Ava, as she lowered her head in embarrassment.
"PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE, NOW!" The teacher yelled at Ava,
Ava was sent to the principal's office, as she was sitting on a chair, facing a desk, as there was a young woman in there with Ava,
The woman was Caucasian, as she had yellow-blonde hair that was tied into a pony at travelled down, stopping at her back, while her bangs were covering her ears, she had pale blue eyes and a very large bust, wearing a sleeveless white blouse and a full-length black skirt that covered her legs as she was in a wheelchair. The woman in the wheelchair was Centorea Shianus, the principal of the school.
As Centorea was at her desk, facing Ava, "This is now your 3th trip to my office this week, Ava; this isn't what I want to see." Centorea told Ava, as she gave her a serious glare.
Ava looked up, with a look of plead, "I'm sorry, I just… I have a lot of stuff going on… and… I'm-" She was then cut off, as Centorea held up her right hand.
"Ava, I do not want to hear any excuses… You have a keen mind and intellect, which many people would wish to have, but lately, your grades have begun slipping dramatically. You're late to most of your classes, to the point of not showing up at all, you're missing assignments and forgetting your homework deadlines and at the rare occasions where you do make it to class on time, you're asleep at your desk." Centorea told Ava, looking serious.
As Ava stared at her, before lowering her head, hanging it in shame, as she sighed depressingly, as Ava knew she was right. "Your right… I'm sorry…" Ava apologised,
Centorea crossed her arms, as she closes her eyes, "(Sign) Ava, I know what you're going through, I went through the same thing you're going when I was a teenager…"
Ava then turned her head to the left, as she had an uncomfortable look on her face, as she gritted her teeth, "I seriously doubt that…" She whispered, as she knew no adult when through the struggles of being a super hero and being a teenager.
"… But I can't ignore what's happening with you, I'm going to have to speak with your parents…" Centorea told Ava, as she opens her eyes and looks at her.
But Ava widens eyed in shock, as she quickly stood up, as she had a panicky expression on her face. "My parents?! No, you can't! I…" Ava said, as the school doesn't know that Ava's parent are not around and that she with her friends, alone.
But before she could make up a lie, from the window behind Centorea, outside, The Ninja was thrown up to reach the window, as he sees Ava, which surprised Ava,
"What the, Nin-" Ava was about to say Ninja but stopped,
Ninja then falls down, out of the window's sight, as Centorea raised her right eyebrow at Ava, "Excuse me?" Centorea asked, as she turned her head to look over her right shoulder, to see what Ava was looking at.
Ava knew Centorea would see Ninja, so she quickly slams her hands down at the deck, which quickly gets Centorea's attention, as she turned and jumped a bit, as she looked at Ava, with a surprised look.
As Ava slaps on a big, wide happy smile on her face, as she leans in. "I was just saying… 'Nah… man… what the… heck… took so long to have this talk…'" Ava though up a lie on the spot, hoping Centorea would buy it.
Centorea then leans in and rested her right arm on her wheelchair's armrest, as she pointed her left index finger at Ava, as she had a bit of a suspicious on her face. "No, you said something but cut yourself off, mid-sentence, and you clearly said 'Nin' instead of 'Nah'." Centorea told Ava, as she crosses her arms.
While, behind her, outside, Ninja was tossed up into the window's view again, as waving his arms at Ava.
Ava looked really nervous as she looked back at Centorea, "Uh… I think there's a problem, I need to…" Ava said, as she was smiling nervously, as she goes around the chair to the door.
"We're not done here, Miss Ayala!" Centorea told Ava, with a serious scowl, as she pointed her left index finger down at the floor. "Your parent's need to know-"
Ava then quickly walked over to the door, and opens it, as she nervously smiled, "Yeah, well, I'm sure that they'll love to talk, but their… out of town for a… wedding… so it's just me and a family friend, Wildcat and-" Ava lied, as she cut off again, as she looked surprised, as she sees Ninja, getting tossed up again, only this time, holding up a cue-card that reads 'NOW!'.
"I am really sorry, Principal Shianus, I need to go…" Ava said to Centorea, as she looked concerned, as she walked out of the office, and closes the door behind.
As Centorea stared coldly at the door, as she knew that there was something wrong, as she was going to find out.
A few minutes later, now on at the Triskelion Island,
Inside the Triskelion, in an elevator going up, Ava and Randy was standing in it, as Ava had an annoyed scowl on her face, as she had her arms crossed, while Randy was leaning his back against the wall of the elevator, as A-Bomb, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee were in the elevator as well.
"You just can't call me up when I'm in a pupil place, especially when I'm in Shianus's office with her with me!" Ava told A-Bomb, Randy, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee, as she knew she is now in more trouble with Centorea now.
Randy shrugged his shoulder, as he had a look of defence on his face, "Hey, it wasn't my idea, Fury called me up, saying that he wanted all of us here now, said it was urgent." Randy explained,
As the elevator reaches its floor, as the doors open and Ava and Randy walk out, heading towards Nick Fury's office,
As she reaches the door and opens it, and the two teens enters the office, finding Nick sitting at his desk, as he notices them.
"Good to see you here." Nick told the team, as they walked over to the table and sat down, as they looked at Nick, who stood up and walked around his desk.
"So, what's so important, you wanted to drag all of us out of school?" Ava asked Nick, wanting to know.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. maximum security prison had a breakout of a level 8 threat." Nick told the teens,
Ava and A-Bomb's eyes widen in shock at hearing that it was a level 8, meaning an extremely dangerous super villain broke out and is now free.
"Who broke out?" Julie asked Nick, leaning in,
But Nick walked over to the table, and looked at them, with a serious look on his face. "It's not so much of a 'Who', but more like a 'What'." Nick told them, as he presses a button on the table, which actives a holo-screen,
On the holo-screen was an image of an extremely strange creature, as it had a pure white slimy body with four slender legs. Its right arm is slender and has a three-fingered hand, and its left arm is swollen with a clawed hand. It has two baby pink eyes and a snout with four fangs hanging on the outside of its mouth, and six smaller teeth on the inside.
Kaikaina was grossed out at the sight of the creature, "Yuck, looks like watery tofu!" She said, in disgust.
"This creature had the ability to shape shift and change its appearance by scanning its targets, either by looking directly at the target or through a picture. It escaped from it's holding cell and managed to commandeer a Quinjet to Earth, while disguised as an S.H.I.E.L.D. soldier." Nick explained to them.
Ava raised her right eyebrow at Nick, "So, you want us to find this thing and take it down?" She asked him,
"No, I already assigned an S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in our district to investigate and find the Shape Shifter." Nick explained to them,
"Wait, why would this Shape Shifter thing be in Jump City?" A-Bomb asked Nick, as he looked confused.
"Because it's looking for payback, it's sentient and it remembers the one person who took it down and locked it up, 30 years ago, so it's extremely likely that it's going to get revenge." Nick told them,
"OK, so, who took this thing down 30 years ago?" Metabee asked,
As Nick then presses another button on the table and the image of the Shape Shifter changed and was replaced with an image of Wildcat, which surprised the team, at seeing that Wildcat was the one who caught the Shape Shifter and locked it up for 30 years.
"Wildcat?" Ava said, looking amazed,
"I'm assigning all of you to protect and guard Wildcat, until we find the Shape Shifter and contain it." Nick told them,
But Ava, on the other hand, wasn't looking so enthusiastic on the idea, considering the fact of how grumpy and head-strong Wildcat was, and how he hated being protected like he couldn't handle it.
Now at downtown Jump City, inside Wildcat's Gym,
"I told Fury a hundred times! That I don't need any bodyguards!" Wildcat yelled in annoyance, as he was walking around the gym in frustration,
While Ava, A-Bomb, Julie and Randy were sitting at a table at the kitchen area, as Randy was on his laptop, while Kaikaina was in some gym clothes as she was doing some kick-boxing against a punching bag, with Metabee holding on to it.
"We know, Wildcat, we heard you a hundred times.. (!)" Ava told him, as she was busy writing on some papers, as she was trying to catch up on her schoolwork.
"And yet I don't get why I can't go out and find that thing myself, I took that thing down once, I can do it again!" Wildcat argued,
"Wildcat, that was 30 years ago, and the Shape Shifter hasn't aged a day, I know you don't like doing nothing but it's the only way to keep you safe." Julie said; as she looked at him with a look of plead.
Wildcat stopped, as he grunted in annoyance, as he threw his right hand in the air, "Dah... I'll be upstairs..." The old hero told them, as he started walking to the stairs and walked up them, to enter his bedroom.
Ava puts her pencil down, as she leans her head back as she sighed with frustration, "Why does he have to be so stubborn, this is for his own good, he's so confident that he can go up against the Shape Shifter, despite the fact that he's pushing 60. I still don't see why Wildcat had to send Tuck, Cricket, Skwydd and Snake Eyes away to some outback training." She said, in annoyance.
Julie turned to look at Ava, "Maybe he doesn't want to put the people he cares about in danger for something out to get him." She mentioned,
Kaikaina delivers a powerful right kick to the side, hitting the punching bag hard, before she stopped and turned to look at her teammates. "That old dude needs a hobby," She mentioned, as she and Metabee walked over to them.
"Yeah, already got enough to deal with, with my schoolwork and protecting Wildcat, the last thing I need is to keep him in here... It's getting harder to balance being a student and being a hero-" Ava said, as she lifts her head up, as she was cut off,
"Whoa-ho-ho, calm down, girls, there's plenty of the Ran-Man to go around!" Randy said, as he had a smug smile on his face, as he was facing his laptop,
Ava, A-Bomb, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee all move up and looked at Randy's laptop,
"Check it out, Jump City's online dating service," A-Bomb said, as he looked amazed, as the website is extremely popular for finding dates in Jump City.
Ava then turned to look at Randy with a cold and deadpan glare, "You have finally become that desperate to get a girlfriend, you resorted to internet dating."
Randy kept smiling as he shrugged his shoulders, "Nah, it's totally like meeting girls in real life, you just type a little somethin' about yourself." Randy said, as he typed something on his laptop.
Julie then leans in to get a better look, as she widens her eyes, as she readied Randy's profile. "'I'm a young, trillionaire, playboy, philanthropist, who co-invented the Fidget spinner, on my off-times, I design mansions and live in them and I own a fleet of beach-houses... in Hawaii and Miami'!?" Julie readied in shock at what Randy wrote on his profile.
A-Bomb, Metabee, Julie and Ava had disapproving glances at Randy, who looks at them, and had a sheepish smile on his face.
"Randy, these are nothing but lies!" Julie yelled at Randy, appalled that he would lie and manipulate girls into going out with him.
Randy then chuckled sheepishly, as he rubbed the back of his head with his right hand. "Heh-heh... I must've been... entering that for... someone else..." He said, awkwardly, before looking back at his laptop and typing some more stuff in.
"Anyway, it's really easy getting a date on here, you tell 'em what kinda girl you're looking for, and palookazoom! Instant Lovey-Dovey!" Randy told them, with a cocky smile,
Ava's face then brightens, as she gets an idea, "Soooo if I was to say I was, for example..." Ava said, as she then takes Randy's laptop and starts typing on it. "... 'A manly, old hunk of boxing champion looking for a certain person to do a little... One on one sparing with...'" Ava said, as she had a devious smile on her face, as she was finished typing.
Then, Randy, A-Bomb, Julie, Metabee and Kaikaina all saw that Ava was setting up a dating profile for Wildcat!?
"Uhh... Av, you feelin' OK..?" A-Bomb asked, as he looked bit worried,
"You're doing something mischievous, something only Randy, Kai or Bee would do..." Julie mentioned, looking worried.
"It's terrifyingly out of character for you... It's scary..." Metabee added, as he had a scared look in his eyes.
Ava then turned to look at her teammates, "It's just something that'll keep Wildcat busy and keep his mind off the whole 'Shape Shifter' thing, which will be one less thing to worry about." Ava explained to them, with a confident smile on her face, as she turned back to look at the laptop.
Randy then leans in, with a sly smile on his face, "I'm impressed, you're becoming more like me every day!" Randy told her, looking proud.
"I know, I'm worried!" Ava told him, she with a serious look on her face as she kept typing,
A few hours later, it was now night, and in Wildcat's Gym,
Ava was sitting at the kitchen table, doing some homework, as A-Bomb, Randy, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee all went home, as Ava decided to take the first night at protecting Wildcat.
As she was writing, the sound of the door knocking, her attention was grabbed, as her eyes goes White Black Eyes, as she turned to look at the door, her face goes back to normal and then immediately goes straight as she turned to face the other side.
"Uh, hey, Wildcat, you think you can get that... I-I'd be happy to get it but... I'm really swamped with all this homework!" Ava said, asking Wildcat to get the door.
Wildcat then walked over to the door, as it was still being knocked on, when the old hero reaches the door and opens it,
He sees standing there, was an really old, hag, who had a hunchback, a pointy nose, and was wearing a fading coloured black brown skirt and a yellow shirt, as she had a rag on her head.
The old lady had an angry look on her face, as she glared at Wildcat, "Well, ya gonna give me some flowers or what?" She said to Wildcat,
But Wildcat looked confused on who this lady was and what she was talking about, "What..?" He said, as he didn't know what was going on.
"I show up on your doorstep for a date, I expect at least some posies for my troubles." The old lady told him, as she looked annoyed.
"'Date'?" Wildcat said, in shock, as he was now even more confused on how she said she's here for a date.
Then the lady scoffs at him, "Forget it." She said, as she then puts her right hand on her nose and then blew her nose in her hand, as snot was coming out of it. After she was done, as looks back at Wildcat, "I can already see you're not good enough for me." She told him, as she turned around and walked away.
Wildcat slowly closes the door, as he was baffled, "Alright... That was weird..." He said, as he really didn't know what just happened.
But then, the door knocks again, and Wildcat then turned to open it again, as he sees that it was a different woman, as it was a younger woman, but she was also a half wolf, half human hybrid.
The wolf lady had a loving smile at Wildcat, "Hello there, I like long walks in the full moonlight and-" But then, she starts snarling like a bloodthirsty wolf, as she was snarling foamy drool at Wildcat.
One hour later, inside the gym, Wildcat was standing before a two headed alien woman, while Ava was watching from a far, with a bit of amused smile on her face, as she enjoyed walking this.
One of the alien's head was smiling at a confused Wildcat, "Hi, so meet to great you... Oh I mean-" The head realised her mistake and was about to correct it.
"GREAT, Sandy, you ruined it again!" The other head yelled at the other, looking angry, as the other head look scared.
Another hour later, Wildcat was being held in some giant arms, as he was gritting his teeth, as he looked terrified as he shook.
Holding Wildcat in her arms was a 17 foot tall Vaxasaurian, who has dark brown stripes on her arms and the back of her neck, and whose skin is orange-reddish colored. Her eyes are pink and she has black pupils. She has a mole above her lip on the left side of her face. She wears leopard pattern clothes that resemble the stereotypical caveman. Her wrists, necklace, and belt are decorated with fangs and various bone pieces. She wears a skull as a helmet that has five plates and four fangs on it. The large alien was named Suemungousaur,
"Yes, I know, I'm a Vaxasaurian, but I am capable to love and feel, and I really like to make this work." Suemungousaur said to Wildcat, as she held him closer, as she had a gentle smile.
"KID!" Wildcat yelled out for Ava, as he figures out that she's the reason all this women are showing up for dates.
Another hour later, Ava was now in the boxing ring, on her knees, as she was scrubbing the ring's mat as punishment.
"Grumpy, hard-headed old man, I was just trying to help that lonely, cranky, no-girlfriend-having..." Ava said in frustration, as she looked annoyed,
But then, from out of nowhere, the sound of a cry for help was heard from outside, this quickly gets Ava's attention, as she quickly get back on her feet, but she turned and saw Wildcat, as he was in the kitchen, making himself a Tiger Tonic.
Ava knew she could duck out for a few minutes without Wildcat knowing,
Ava then quickly and quietly walked over to the door, as she slowly opens it, but the sound of it opening was drowned out by the sound of the blender going on.
Now outside, Ava quickly ran into a dark alley, and then ran out of it, now as White Tiger, as she was running to where the cries for help came from.
But as she ran down the street, she heard the sound of rustling in the trees, as she stopped and looked up, and saw a group of small, reddish gremlin-like aliens, as they were jumping from treetop to treetop, as fast as they could.
White Tiger then quickly climbed up one tree and made it to the top, where she held her hands out and catches one of them, as he looked completely terrified, as he shook to get free.
"Whoa, whoa, calm down, I'm not gonna hurt you, tell me what happened..?" Tiger asked the little gremlin alien, as she had a concerned look in her eyes.
The little gremlin alien was shaking in terror, as he looked at her, "We were mindin' our own business, but then... that thing jumped us, man!" He told her, as he looked scared out of his life,
Tiger then lifted the alien up closer, "What thing?" She asked,
"Sh-sh-sh-sh-SHAPE SHIFTER!" The alien screamed in terror, as he pointed his index finger at a direction, as Tiger turned her head to look.
She quickly climbs down and set the little alien down, as he kept on running.
White Tiger then ran to the direction, running across the road, and to the other side, as she ended up at an alley, as she prepared herself for a fight.
"Alright, Shape Shifter! Get out and show your ugly mug!" White Tiger called the Shape Shifter, but there was no response, as she cautiously scans around the alleyway, to see if she could find the Shape Shifter.
White Tiger stood up; as she knew that the Shape Shifter wasn't here anymore. "OK, I get it; you're not here because you're 30 year out of practice when it comes to fighting, so when you're finished warming up, I'll be waiting!" Tiger called out, as she quickly starts to run back to Wildcat's Gym.
But unknown to her, on top of a building, looking down from the edge, it was the Shape Shifter, as it watches White Tiger go.
"I waited 30 years for my revenge; I won't let you stand it the way. I'll have to find a way to strike from the inside..." The Shape Shifter said, darkly,
Now back at Wildcat's Gym, Tiger sneaks in from the window to the bathroom,
But from outside the bathroom, Tiger heard the sound of laughter coming for the next room.
White Tiger's eyes widen in shock, as that was Wildcat who was laughing, "What the... Wildcat laughing..?"
Then Tiger takes off her mask, as she had a bright smile, "He found himself someone!" Ava said, happy, as she quickly presses a button on her watch and her White Tiger costume changes back to her normal clothes, as she ran out of the bathroom.
Entering the large room, and running towards the kitchen, Ava was smiling, as she ran to the table, where Wildcat was sitting with someone.
"Hey, Wildcat, who's the lucky-" Ava was about to say, but was cut off as she reaches the table and saw that the woman was Centorea, as she was having tea with Wildcat.
Ava looked shocked and confused at seeing her principal here, "Principal Shianus?!" Ava said, looking completely speechless.
Wildcat looked at Ava, while Centorea turned her wheelchair around to face her. "Ah, Av, I thought you went to bed." He said, as he had a calm smile on his face.
Ava had a stupefied expression on her face, "How did the website... And you... And her...?" She couldn't put it into words.
Then Centorea held up a folder with Ava's permanent record, in her right hand, as she gave Ava a straight face. "I came to talk with your parents. I know you said they were out of town, but to be honest, by the way you ran out of my office, I just assumed you were lying, I'm sorry." Centorea told Ava, apologising, as she had a calm smile on her face.
"You don't need to apologise. Av often has problems with lying. Not to mention always tellin' everybody that she knows better..." Wildcat told Centorea, as he smiled at her, as she turned her wheelchair to face him.
"Tell me about it," Centorea mentioned, as the two of them laughed, which made Ava feel a little uncomfortable at what was going on.
"Not to mention, trouble trusting others, being a little short fused and also being a little bit of a..." Wildcat said,
"Know-it-all..." As Centorea said at the same time as Wildcat, which made the two of them laugh together, while Ava goes SD, with a frown of grief, while a sweat-drop appears on her head.
"Ya know; I'd like to talk about more with you about more things like this, say... over dinner?" Wildcat asked Centorea, offering her to go on a date with him, as he held up his right hand to her.
But Ava's eyes widen in shock,
While Centorea smiled as she blushed, as she holds up her left hand to take his hand. "It's a date." She said, accepting his offer.
Ava stood there, completely frozen, before she then, sprints out of the gym.
As she was now outside and sprinting down the road as fast as a speeding bullet, until Ava reaches the harbour and jumps into the water, but instead of sinking, Ava was running so fast, as she was running on the water.
She kept running and running until she reaches a little island and get on it, coming to a complete stop, as she held her head up high.
"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Ava yelled out to the sky, as for some reason, lightning strikes in the night sky.
Wildcat, her mentor is going on a date with Centorea, her principal, spells nothing good for her.
The next day, in the gym, Ava was sitting at the table doing her homework, only before Wildcat coming in, and looked at her with a disappointed scowl.
"Kid, Centorea told me you failed another geometry test!" Wildcat yelled at her, angry that she failed a test.
The next day, at school, Ava was walking down the hall, before she stopped, when Centorea appeared in-front of her, as she had two CD cases sitting on her lap.
Centorea smiled at Ava, "Ah, Ava, I need to ask, does Wildcat prefer 'Easy Listening' or 'Smooth Jazz'?" She asked Ava, as she was holding both CD cases in both hands.
The next day, at the gym, Ava was cautiously sneaking to the door to leave,
"AV!" The sound of Wildcat's voice stopped her, as Ava slowly turned to look at Wildcat and Centorea, sitting at the table. "If ya going out, think you can rent a movie for us, while we talk about your problems?" He asked her,
The next day, at school, it was the end of school, and outside of the front exit, Ava was standing before Centorea,
Centorea smiled at Ava, "Ava! I believe Wildcat sent something with you..?" She tells her,
As Ava looked reluctant and embarrassed, as she really didn't want to say it, especially at school, but she then sighed in defeat. "… Yes, ma'am…" She said to her principle, with a look of grief,
As Ava then reaches her right hand into her backpack and pulled out a rose and holds it up to Centorea. "'Till next we meet, something to remind you… (Shuddering)… That you're too sweet…'" Ava finished reciting what Wildcat told her to say to Centorea,
But then, the sound of laughter was heard behind Ava, as her eyes widen in shock, as she turned around and saw some students, laughing at her, as Ava then turned and hung her head down in humiliation.
The next day (A/N: Last one, I swear) at the gym,
Ava was lying face down on the couch, while Julie and Metabee sat next to her, while A-Bomb was leaning his arms on the head of the couch, looking at Ava.
"OK, so it didn't work out, exactly the way you wanted…" Metabee said to the humiliated Ava,
Julie leans in, as she had a loving smile, "I think it's sweet, Wildcat, an old but strong-hearted hero and Principle Centorea, a young and beautiful woman in a wheelchair, finding a common interest and loving connection with each other…" Julie said, smiling,
Ava then turned her head to look at Julie, with a deadpan look, as her eyes were brown circles, as her nose was gone and her mouth was wavy.
"… This was supposed to give me one less thing to worry about, but now, I've actually become the centrepiece of their loving conversations and been recruited to be their little love delivery monkey (!)" Ava said, annoyed and deadpan,
"Hey! Ya mind keepin' on a down-low," Randy said, as everyone turned and looked at him, as he was sitting on the floor, on his laptop, while Kaikaina was laying on the floor next to him, as she was on her belly, reading a magazine.
"I just found me a hot French, art exchange student named 'La rain 38', and ooh-la-la! Let me just say, that any girl who can make me LOL on my PC, 24/7 is A-OK with M-E!" Randy smiled, cocky, as he turned to look at his teammates.
But then, from out of nowhere, a load crash was heard outside, which gets everyone's attention, as they all stand up, and ran to the door.
Outside, and in an alley, the team was looking around to see where that crash came from,
But then, another crashing sound was hear, near them, as they turned and saw, a Krogan, as he was struggling to walk, as he was knocking over trashcans, A-Bomb, Randy, Ava, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee all quickly ran to him, as A-Bomb and Randy helped the Krogan to stand straight.
"Are you OK?" Julie asked him, looking worried,
"What happen?" Metabee asked,
"I don't know… Something attacked me… I was just walking down a street…" The Krogan said, as he was in pain.
A-Bomb turned to look at his team, "We should get him to S.H.I.E.L.D. to have Dr. Grey take a look at him." He told them, as he and Randy started walking the Krogan, with Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee following.
Ava was about to follow but then, she heard the sound of screeching, as she turned around to face where the screeching was coming from.
Ava saw that it was Centorea, as she was wheeling herself through the alley,
"Principal Shianus?" Ava said, as she looked confused,
Centorea stops as she saw Ava, with a surprised look on her face, "Oh, Ava, I didn't know you were… I didn't mean to scare you; I think my chair rusted a bit." Centorea said, as she hand her hands on her chair's wheels, as they were a bit rusty.
Ava stared at her for bit before breaking the silence, "What're you doing back here?" Ava asked her, wondering.
"Wildcat and I just got back from our date, when you weren't in the gym, I thought I would come out to say goodnight." Centorea tells her, before she had a suspicious look on her face. "What are you doing back here?" She asked, wondering why Ava as standing in an alley, in the middle of the night.
"I… I was just trying to calm down... my stomach…" Ava said, making up a lie on the spot.
"In the alley by the dumpsters?" Centorea said, looking a little confused.
"Um, yeah…" Ava then breaths in the dumpster smells, before immediately gagging at the horrible smell of the dumpsters, "Oh yeah..! (Cough) (Cough) … That's the good stuff…" Ava said, as her eyes watered a bit by the bad smell,
After, Ava breaths out the smell, Ava looked at Centorea and noticed something on her wheelchair. "Hey, what's that white guck?" Ava pointed out, as she sees some white slime on the right wheel of Centorea's wheelchair.
Centorea notices and turned to look at Ava, "Oh, yes, we, uh… went to the beach pier, my wheelchair must have rolled on some ice cream on the floor." Centorea tells her,
But Ava narrowed her eyes at her, as she felt like that was lies, while Centorea had a serious glare at Ava as well, staring each other down, and each not trusting the other.
"Well… I'll see you in school on Monday." Centorea told Ava, as she backs away, while her wheels were screeching, as she wheels herself out of the alley.
Ava had a deadly serious scowl on her face, "Yeah…" She knew something was amiss,
A few hours later, it was now midnight, and at the school,
Ava was wearing down the hallway, with A-Bomb, Julie and Metabee, while Julie was in her purple pajamas bottoms and a white top on, as she had her long sliver hair down,
"Centorea?!" Metabee said, looking shocked,
As they walked up the stairs, "It all makes sense, the screeching, the while slime, how she keeps turning up right after the Shape Shifter attacks, how she's always over at the gym, getting all close to Wildcat. (Scoffs) Yeah, getting close enough to impale Wildcat with a metal pipe, the second we let our guard down." Ava explained, how she thinks that Centorea is the Shape Shifter.
Ava finished explaining, as they made it to Centorea's office, and stood in front of the door,
"Okay, maybe, but why are we out here, breaking into her office at 3 o'clock in the morning instead of tellin' Wildcat what you think is going on?" Metabee mentioned, as he looked up on Ava.
"Come on, Bee. You think Wildcat is gonna listen to anything I say without any kind of proof?" Ava pointed out to him, as she crouches down to the door's knob and extends her right index claw and put it into the lock, trying to jimmy it open.
Julie then raised up her right hand, "All right, but one more question..." She said, with a straight face.
As Julie then pointed her right thumb over her shoulder, pointing at someone behind, as it was reveal to be Kaikaina, as she was wearing a black, cat burglar outfit.
"How come I had to get dragged outta the SHED in my pyjamas, but Kai got to change into spy commando gear?" Julie asked, looking a bit annoyed that she was dragged out of bed and dragged to school, still wearing her PJ, but Kaikaina got changed into a cat burglar outfit.
"Actually, these are my PJ; they help me dream that I'm smothered by cats." Kaikaina said, saying that cat burglar outfit are her real pajamas.
Which makes Ava, A-Bomb, Julie and Metabee look at her, with deadpan stares, what it's like in her mind, no one dares to know.
Ava then turned and opens the door, and the four of them all walks in the empty office, as A-Bomb shuts the door behind them and took a look around to find anything.
Ava scans around and sees that there was mural of knights of old, while there was stuff of Japanese lore.
"She got a whole knight and samurai theme going on…" Ava said, with a suspicious look on her face,
"Maybe some people just like warriors of old! Is that a crime?!" Kaikaina yelled out, which made Julie and A-Bomb cover her faceplate with their hands, to keep her quiet.
Metabee then goes over to the desk and opens one of the lower drawers, as he finds something inside. "Hey, guys, I found somethin'," Metabee said, as the three of them walked over to him, Metabee then reaches his right hand into the draw and pulls out a small broken part of machinery and hold it up,
Ava takes it and holds in her right hand and lifted her left wrist up, as her watch then starts scanning the small broken part of machinery, after the scanning was done, Ava then takes a look at her watch, to check out the readings, "Its S.H.I.E.L.D. standard issued equipment, piece of machinery for level 8 prison cells." Ava said, as she had a serious scowl on her face,
A-Bomb, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee all looked shocked, as maybe Ava was right about Centorea being the Shape Shifter.
But then, from outside, the sound of screeching was heard, which quickly gets everyone's attention, as they knew it was Centorea.
"Go!" Ava whispered as they all quickly moved, as the screeching was getting louder and closer as Ava, Julie, A-Bomb, Kaikaina and Metabee, climbs onto Centorea's desk and out the window. Ava, last out and still holding the broken machine part, knocks a lit desk lamp over on its side.
The moment she was clear, Centorea wheels herself into her office, she looks at the open window, a very serious look forms on her face, quickly knowing that someone was just in her office.
But then the fallen desk lamp casts a shadow of Centorea in her chair, against the wall but suddenly, her shadow rises from the chair and moves out of view the abandoned wheelchair screeching out into the hall and bumps the opposite wall.
The next morning, in Wildcat's Gym,
Wildcat was standing in-front of a mirror, as he was preparing himself for another date with Centorea, as he looked happy,
Behind him, it was Ava, Julie, Metabee, A-Bomb and Kaikaina, as Julie and Kaikaina were back in their normal clothes.
"Wildcat, this is serious! Your girlfriend is the Shape Shifter! This proves it!" Ava told Wildcat, as she held up the small, broken piece of machinery in her right hand.
Wildcat turned around and looked at the broken piece, "A broken piece of junk doesn't prove squat! Look, Av, I know you don't like the fact that I'm dating your principle, but making up lies like that, that's just not like you, Tiger." Wildcat told Ava, as he frowned at her, as he then walked to the door, leaving then team stunned, "Now, if you find any real leads, I'd be burning a mix CD for tonight." Wildcat told them, as he walked out of the gym,
While Metabee shook his head, as his eyes were closed, "Mm-mm-mm, the things love will do to a man…" He said,
While at the kitchen area, Randy as dressed in a dandified yachtsman getup, as he was on the phone,
"Alas, La Rain 38, my yachts are all in the shop right now…" Randy said, speaking in a phony blue-blood accent, as he hears on the phone, "Uh... no, you still can't come over and meet my butlers, I told you, they're screen-writing for a musical, I'm serious; there is a lot of work to do! Stop askin' already!" Randy told through the phone, as his accent breaking down.
While Ava, A-Bomb, Julie, Kaikaina and Metabee were talking among themselves,
"Looks like it's up to us," Ava said, as she knew that they were the only ones who could do it.
"Uh, to do what exactly?" Kaikaina asked, as she forgot what they were doing,
"Catch Centorea…" Ava said, as her eyes narrowed with seriousness, deciding to take matters into their own hands.
It was now night, outside of Jump City, was an open field, with green grass, on the field, was a small hut, sitting there, completely in the open.
At the hut, Ava was standing by the door, as she was knocking on it, the door then opens, and Centorea wheels herself in, as she looked up and sees Ava, to her surprise.
"Hey, Principle Shianus, nice to see you!" Ava said, as she had a happy smile on her face.
While Centorea looked a bit baffled at seeing Ava at her house, "Ava? This is… definitely a surprise…" She mentions, not expecting to her Ava at her house, especially at this hour.
"Yeah, I just wanted to apologise, I know I haven't acted like the best while also giving you and Wildcat a hard time, it's just that… Wildcat is like a father to me, and I love him, and I was just worried that he was going to get hurt, but now, after seeing how happy he is when he's with you… So, you know if you wanted to... come outside and talk." Ava asked Centorea, as she gave her a gentle and heartfelt smile.
But unknown to Centorea, standing the roof, was A-Bomb and Metabee, as they were crouched and ready, each holding one end of a steel cage, ready to drop it the minute Centorea goes out the door.
But Centorea's eyes darted briefly to the roof… does she smell the trap? "It's a little cold outside, why don't you come inside, I'll make you some tea." She offered, with a bit of a suspicious look.
But Ava's gentle smile quickly disappears and gets replaced with a serious scowl. "All right, cut the theatrics!" Ava told her, as she pulls the broken piece of machine out from behind her back.
At the sight of that, Centorea's eyes go wide, before quickly turning into a serious scowl, "What did you get that..?" She asked, wanting to know.
"Yeah, I know what you are, and exactly what you're trying to do." Ava told her, as Ava glared at her.
Centorea's hands slowly move down to grip her chair's wheels, "All right, this doesn't have to get ugly, let's just talk about it like-" She said, but was cut off, as she then lunges forward in her chair, plowing into Ava and knocking her out of the way.
Centorea then pins Ava to the ground, but Ava looks up, "Oof! Rick, Bee, drop it!" Ava yelled out, as Centorea turned her head and saw A-Bomb and Metabee toss the cage down,
But Centorea's speed was blazing as she clears the falling net, which traps Ava instead. From behind Centorea, Julie held up two halves of a large steel torso cage, as she swings them and hits and traps Centorea's arms with her torso in the cage, catching her off guard, as Julie tosses her to the ground.
A-Bomb then lifted up the cage, freeing Ava, as she walked over to the struggling to get free Centorea.
"Alright, game over, Shape Shifter!" Ava told Centorea, with a smug smile, standing high above her.
Centorea was struggling to get free, as she looked up at Ava, "What are you talking about?! You're the Shape Shifter!" She yelled at her, as she struggled to get free,
Ava looked confused on what she just said, "What?" She said, confused at hearing her say that she was the Shape Shifter.
"You can't run forever! I'm not the only centaur who's after you!" Centorea told Ava,
But then, Ava's eyes widen in shock after hearing what she just said, "'Centaur'?!" She said in shock,
As Ava then looked at the struggling Centorea, who suddenly had pointy tipped ears poking out her hair, and Ava then looked at her lower body, as it is revealed that she doesn't have two legs, she, in fact, had the body of a horse for legs, as they were covered by her large black skirt, as there was golden blonde tail at the end, as it was true, Centorea wasn't the Shape Shifter but she also wasn't human, she was a centaur.
"Aw, man…" Ava said, in a look of disbelief, while A-Bomb, Kaikaina, Metabee and Julie walked, all looking completely speechless at seeing their principle's real form.
Julie then steps in and grabbed the torso cage and pulls it apart, freeing her, as she stands up on her four horse legs, as she gave the teens a serious look, as she lifted up her right hand to show to them, a S.H.I.E.L.D. badge.
"I'm Special Agent Centorea Shianus; Director Fury assigned me to the mission of finding and tracing down the Shape Shifter, while also keeping an eye on all of you." Centorea explained, introducing herself to the team, her real self.
"You're with S.H.I.E.L.D.!?" Metabee said looking completely stupefied that their principal is an S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
"You're the Agent, Fury assigned!" A-Bomb said, as he was now getting it,
Centorea then puts her badge away, as she turned to look at Ava, "I thought the Shape Shifter might have been you, Ava. The way I kept finding you every place the beast attacked, the 'changes' you said you'd gone through recently... I thought the real Ava Ayala had been replaced, but I am really glad to see that I was wrong…" Centorea tells Ava,
But Ava then steps forward, glaring at Centorea, as she held up the broken machine part, "Oh, yeah, but what about those machine pieces we found when we broke into your office?" She said, as she then turns SD and begins to wave it around, as her mouth was extremely wide. "HHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?" SD Ava said, demanding a good explanation on that.
Centorea looked faint on her face, "They were evidence I picked up on the-" She was about to explained but cut herself off as she realised, "You broke into my office!?" Centorea yelled in anger and shock, as that was an invasion of privacy.
Ava goes back to normal, as she had a look of defence on her face, "Only because I thought you were some kinda of bug, larva thing trying to kill Wildcat!" She argued, but only for Ava to immediately realise. "Oh, no, Wildcat!" She yelled in shock, that Wildcat was in danger.
Meanwhile, back in Wildcat's Gym,
Wildcat was pacing around, as he was waiting for Centorea, as he was pacing in-front of Randy and his French date, a young and beautiful girl, with flowing red hair and wearing a brown leather jacket, and blue jeans.
As the girl was 'La Rain 38', who wasn't taking her eyes off of Wildcat.
"Where is she? Cerea promised she would be here by now." Wildcat said, looking impatient, as Centorea was support to be here their date.
"Hey, I hear ya; lies can totally ruin a relationship." Randy told to Wildcat, before turning to his beautiful date, "That's why La Rain 38 and me agreed to drop the charade and be totally honest. Ain't that right, sweetie?" Randy had a sweet smile on his face.
But La Rain 38 snarled and had a feral look on her face, "Go get me a drink!" She ordered Randy, in a snarly tone of voice, as she was foaming at her mouth.
But Randy, distracted by how beautiful she was, didn't noticed this, and just followed what she said and smiled, "Comin' up, Sugar-Cookies!" Randy said to her, as he then walked over to the kitchen to get her some water.
"I should call her," Wildcat said, as he then walked to the phone to call Centorea, to see where she was.
He puts it to the phone and picks it up and starts dialling, while behind him, La Rain 38 appeared, gritting her teeth at Wildcat,
Wildcat noticed this and turned to look at her, with an uninterested look on his face, "Oh, it's you, La Rain 38; the bathroom's just down there." He said, as pointed at the direction of the bathroom, as he kept punching in the numbers.
But unknown to Wildcat, La Rain 38 ducks down, while Wildcat dials the phone, while there were now sloshing, gargling noises coming from behind, which gets his attention,
"Do you mind, La Rain 38? I'm trying to-" Wildcat said as turned around to look at La Rain 38, but he cut himself off, as he saw that La Rain 38 had charged and transformed into the Shape Shifter, catching Wildcat off-guard and shocking him.
"WHOA!" Wildcat yelled in shock, as the Shape Shifter then raised up its right arm up and swings it down at Wildcat, as he quickly jumps to the side, dodging its attack, and its arm smashes into the floor, Wildcat rolls on the floor, before getting back up, as the Shape Shifter then stretches its left arm, and expanded its hand, grabbing Wildcat and lifting him up his feet and then smashed Wildcat to the floor and then swings him upward and smashes him against the ceiling, before tossing Wildcat aside, as he hits and slides on the floor.
Wildcat was getting back up, as he gritted his teeth, as he glares at the Shape Shifter,
But Randy walks in, holding some bottle water, as he had his eyes closed and had a smile on his face. "I hope you like your tap water warm, baby, cause-" Randy said, but when he opens his eyes and sees the Shape Shifter, and shock and made him jump, "Yaaah! When I said you could slip into something a little more comfortable..." Randy said, looking a bit annoyed,
But then, the Shape Shifter swings its left arm, and swats Randy, sending him flying and smashing to a wall, knocking him out.
The Sharp Shifter then turned to face Wildcat, who held both his fists up, ready for a fight, "I rotted in prison for 30 years! Now you're going to get yours!" The Shape Shifter yelled, as it then charges at Wildcat, to attack.
Shape Shifter then swings its left arm at him, but Wildcat ducked and dodged it, as he then delivers a right punch to the Shape Shifter's face, before tossing his left fist, punching it in the face, and pushing it back, but the Shape Shifter creates a third arm, from his torso and then grabbed Wildcat and then lifted up and smashed him to the floor, before it then tosses Wildcat across the gym and smashing into a wall, as he falls to the floor, and hits it, laying on his front, unconscious.
The Shape Shifter then walked over to Wildcat and picks him up in his right hand, as he lifts up his left arm and shapes it into a pointed, sharp edge, to use to impale Wildcat with.
"Here comes the sweet release!" The Shape Shifter yelled out, as it was prepared to strike Wildcat down.
"YAAAAHHHH!" The yell of a familiar voice was heard, from out of nowhere, White Tiger falls in and swings her right claw downward, slicing the Shape Shifter's arm that was holding Wildcat in half.
Causing Wildcat to drop to the floor, as the Shape Shifter quickly moves back, away from White Tiger, as it held it's missing arm in its left hand, as the sliced up arm the moves by itself, towards the Shape Shifter and merges with it, causing for its right arm to grow back.
As the Shape Shifter turned and sees White Tiger, as she was standing in-front of Wildcat, scowling at the Shape Shifter, ready for a fight.
Then, bursting from out of the door, was A-Bomb, Kaikaina, Julie, Metabee and Centorea, as Centorea held a long broadsword with both hands, as the scabbard was on her left hip.
The Shape Shifter then roars at Tiger, as it changes into a large, muscular quadruped, red and grey alien creature, with two tusks on both sides of its head, with one large horn on pointing upward on the nose, the creature the Shape Shifter changed into was a Reek. The Shape Shifter then charges at White Tiger, as she jumps out of the way, as the Shape Shifter kept charging, as it smashes through a wall, into the alleyway.
White Tiger then ran after it, going through the large hold in the wall, as she sees the Shape Shifter, as it was turning around, as it was looking at Tiger.
"I waited 30 year to get my revenge, and I'm not letting you or anyone stand in my way!" The Shape Shifter told Tiger,
As it then charges at White Tiger, with its horns lowered to impale her with, but when it reaches Tiger, A-Bomb quickly steps in-front of her and grabbed on to both of the Shape Shifter's tusks, pushing and holding it back, as A-Bomb was holding it in place, as Julie runs in, running under its underbelly, as she holds her right fist back and then delivers a powerful right uppercut, punching and knocking it off its feet, and sending it smashing into a wall, upon impact, the Shape Shifter then changes back to its true form, as it splats on the wall, before slowly sliding downward, reaching the ground, behind some dumpsters.
Meanwhile, in the gym, Centorea galloped over to Wildcat, as she gets down on her knees, to lift up Wildcat's head, as he was coming to,
"Ted! TED! Are you all right?" Centorea said, as the centaur looked worried,
"Uhhhh… Centorea…" Wildcat said, groggy, as the old hero was slowly waking up and opens his eyes.
As he opens his eyes, Wildcat looks down and then, his eyes widen in surprise takes as he momentarily stares at her centaur lower body, and also seeing her tail.
"Uh, nice tail…" Wildcat said, giving Centorea an awkward smile,
Centorea was relived at seeing Wildcat was OK, as she smiled back at him, "Thank you, can you move?" She then asked him, hoping.
Wildcat struggled but he managed to get back up on his feet, as Centorea stands up, helping him up.
Meanwhile, back in the alley, A-Bomb and Metabee ran towards the dumpsters and push them aside, to find the Shape Shifter, but it wasn't there, Tiger, Julie, A-Bomb, Kaikaina and Metabee all looked around to see where it went.
But, behind Tiger, was the Shape Shifter, as it was now transformed into the little reddish gremlin-like alien that Tiger met a few nights ago, was holding up a broken pipe, brandishing it like a baseball bat.
"Ava! Look out!" Centorea yelled out, as she hopped her back leg up and then delivers a power double horse kick at the Shape Shifter, hitting it before it could strike Tiger,
The double kick sends it flying and splatting into a wall, Tiger turned around and sees Centorea, as she turned around to look at White Tiger.
"Thanks," Tiger said, with a grateful look in her eyes, as she looked at Centorea,
Centorea smiled as she shrugged her shoulders, "They outlawed corporal punishment at school, I have to get my aggression out somehow." She mentioned her, with a smile, being a principal of a school full of teenagers, one has to release anger and frustration, with Centorea, it's crackin' criminal's skulls.
Meanwhile, the Shape Shifter was getting back up, as it snarls at the heroes, A-Bomb looks down, spots it, and then quickly runs it, towards it, as it turned and tried to run, but A-Bomb snatches it up, trapping it inside his large hands like a mini cage.
"Gotcha!" A-Bomb said, as he holds up the small formed Shape Shifter up to his face, with a smug smile on his face,
But then, the Shape Shifter morphs into something else again, as it burst free of A-Bomb's hand prison as it shoots up in size, which knocks A-Bomb down, as he hits the ground, A-Bomb looked up and saw the Shape Shifter in its new form, as it was a larger alien, bigger then A-Bomb, as it was five meters tall, with their long arms, immense jaws, and armoured hides.
"Oh come on! Where did that thing meet an Rancor?!" A-Bomb yelled at the newly transformed Shape Shifter, looking frustrated and in disbelief on it seeing a Rancor,
The Shape Shifter then raises up its right fist, to smash him, but then Kaikaina started to shoot her two blasters at the Shape Shifter, while Metabee was shooting his gauntlet at the Shape Shifter, hitting it, as the blaster and gauntlet fire was pushing it back, A-Bomb gets back up, as Julie and White Tiger charges at the Shape Shifter, as they leaps up, to attack it, but the Shape Shifter then swung his left arm and swats both of them away from it, sending Tiger and Julie to the ground, as Centorea gallops to them, as she helped them up.
White Tiger then charges towards the Shape Shifter, as she ran passed Kaikaina and Metabee, who stopped firing at seeing Tiger passed them, as she reaches the Shape Shifter, as she then leaps out at it, as she straightens her body as she aimed both her claws, as her body spun around. "10 Claw: Drill!" Tiger yelled out, as she spun and hits the Shape Shifter in the stomach, pushing it back, as Shape Shifter morphs back to normal, as the two crashes into some trashcans, covering the two of them.
"Tiger!" A-Bomb yelled out, as he, Kaikaina, Julie, Metabee and Centorea all looked at the trashcans,
But then, emerging out of trashcans was two White Tigers, to their shock, at seeing that the Shape Shifter had changed and morphed into White Tiger and they didn't know which one was the real White Tiger and which one was the Shape Shifter.
But Kaikaina had a panicky looked, as she looked at the two White Tigers. "Oh, no, there are two of them now!" She yelled, as Kaikaina then grabbed Julie by the shoulders and started to shake her violently. "OUR WORST FEARS HAVE BEEN REALISED!" Kaikaina yelled out, in terror, as she shook Julie.
White Tiger-1 turned to look at her teammates, with a worried look in her eyes, "Guys, she's the Shape Shifter! Get her!" She told them, as she pointed her left index finger at White Tiger-2,
White Tiger-2 shook her head, as she pointed her right index finger at White Tiger-1, with a determined look in her eyes. "No! She's trying to confuse you, she's the fake, get her!" She told them,
A-Bomb, Julie, Kaikaina, Metabee and Centorea were getting confused on which one was the real one and which one was the fake.
"Which one is the real one?" Metabee looked confused and worried,
"I don't know, if we chose the right one, we'll have the Shape Shifter right where we want it, but if we chose the wrong one… The real Tiger will beat us up, horribly…" A-Bomb added, as he looked worried.
But then, Metabee steps forward, with a straight look in his eyes, as he tilted his head down and his horn took aim at White Tiger-1 and shoots, firing a two twin missiles towards her, hitting her in the stomach, exploding on impact, knocking her off her feet, as she turns back into the Shape Shifter, as it was hissing in pain, as it rolled a bit on the ground.
The real White Tiger turned to look at Metabee, as the rest of the team looked at him, amazed,
"How'd you know which one was the real one?" Julie asked Metabee, looking amazed,
Metabee turned his head to the right, and looked up to look at Julie, "Actually… I just guessed…" He said, as he shrugged his shoulders,
Tiger heard this and immediately steps in, with an angered look in her eyes, as she looked at Metabee, "You guessed!?" She yelled in anger, at how he could have chosen the wrong one and blasted her with his missiles.
Metabee looked up at her, as he shrugged his shoulders, "The whole two Tigers thing could have dragged is fight on longer then it needed to be." He tells her,
Then, the Shape Shifter recovers from its wounds, as it gets back up, as the heroes turns and sees it getting back up, prepared for another fight.
Centorea then steps forward and looks at White Tiger, "We're getting no way; we're never going to beat it if it keeps changing form like that! It's countering every move we make!" She told Tiger,
White Tiger then had a calculating look in her eyes, as she was thinking of how they're going to beat the Shape Shifter, but then her eyes' beamed up as she got an idea. "Then I guess we need to keep him distracted, and I'm gonna need your help." Tiger said, as she looked at Centorea, as she smiled as she nodded,
Then, Tiger charges at the Shape Shifter, claws at the ready, as she reaches it and started to slash her claws at the Shape Shifter, at great speed, as she didn't let the Shape Shifter get a chance to transform. But then, the Shape Shifter then lifted up its right arm, to strike Tiger, but she sees this and quickly jumped back dodging the attack, as Centorea as galloping towards the Shape Shifter, holding up her sword in both her hands, as she begins the quickly deliver lunge after lunge, at great speeds, pushing it back.
The Shape Shifter then swings it left arm to hit Centorea, but she quickly moves to the side, dodging and also making way for White Tiger, who leaps out and delivers a powerful right punch, hitting it in the face, knocking it back, as she lands on her feet, as it stumbled a bit as it moved backwards.
White Tiger and Centorea stood before the Shape Shifter, as all its cuts and wounds were immediately healing, "You can't stop me, I've walked away from battles that a cockroach wouldn't crawl away alive!" The Shape Shifter told them, as he charges in to attack.
But before it could reach them, he was stopped, as a huge blast of coldness hits it, which causes it to freeze the Shape Shifter into a huge block of ice, encasing and trapping Shape Shifter inside the ice.
Everyone looked surprised on what they just saw, and also confused on what happened, but then, walking from behind the frozen Shape Shifter, was Wildcat, as he was holding a freeze ray, as the firing end had some icy mist coming out of it, as it was just fired.
Everyone stared at the old hero, with amazement, as Wildcat had a smug smile on his face, as he looked at them, "Could've been faster, but hard to find it in my footlocker." Wildcat tells them, as he held up the freeze ray.
An hour later, outside of the gym, an S.H.I.E.L.D. armoured truck was parked near the alleyway, as there was two S.H.I.E.L.D. soldiers wheeling the frozen Shape Shifter into the back of the truck, to take it back to S.H.I.E.L.D. maximum security prison.
While, team S.P.D., with Randy, as he was awake, as they watched the frozen Shape Shifter get moved into the truck, with Wildcat and Centorea.
Randy glares at the frozen Shape Shifter, with a disgusted look, "I am disgusted with you, La Rain 38! It's sickening that a person would just lie and manipulate someone to go on a date with them, when in reality, they just used them to seek revenge and just hurt the person they lied to!" Randy told off the frozen Shape Shifter, as it get in the truck, while Julie and A-Bomb gave Randy a cold stare at him saying that, considering that he was the one who lied about who he was.
Centorea turned to look at Ava, "I'm sorry I misjudged you, Ava." She apologised to Ava for thinking that she was the Shape Shifter.
Ava smiled back at the centaur, as she shrugged her shoulders, "Don't worry about it, I'm sorry too, and I just wanna say, that if you and Wildcat wanna, you know... keep dating and… get little serious... I'm OK with that." Ava said, as she smiled gently.
But then, Centorea blushes as she turned to look at Wildcat, who had his arms crossed, as he was look at her with a straight face, this was an uncomfortable moment for both of them.
"Oh. I-I assumed you'd knew-" Centorea was trying to say something but was tripping over her words.
But Wildcat steps in and looked at Ava, "Av, we weren't dating at all, she told me that she was with S.H.I.E.L.D., we decided to act like we are dating, to find and take down the Shape Shifter and keep everyone for finding out what we were doing." Wildcat explained to Ava.
Ava looked shocked and confused after hearing that, "Wait, what!?" She said, looking completely shocked as she was being to that all this time, all the awkward acts she had to endure and the humiliation of her school peers she had to face, she went through all that, but only for her to be told that Wildcat and Centorea wasn't dating at all!
Centorea gave Ava an awkward and gentle smile, "I'm sorry we lied to you, but I need to be close with Wildcat so we would find the Shape Shifter, we had to say that we were dating to throw everyone off the trail." Centorea apologised to Ava, as the whole 'Her and Wildcat dating' was just an act.
"But I will say that I didn't know she was a centaur," Wildcat mentioned, as finding out that Centorea was a centaur was a surprise for him.
Ava looked speechless, all this time she was going crazy about this, only to be told that there was nothing to go crazy about.
The next day, it was the morning, at school,
Ava was running down the hallway, running as fast as she could, as she was late for class again,
Ava manages to reach her classroom, and opens the door, running inside and charging to her seat, as she leans up and lands on her seat, as she smiled as she finally makes it in time for class.
As the rest of the students were getting to their seats, as the teacher enters the classroom, as she sees Ava, sitting on her seat.
"Nice to see you finally in class and fully awake this time, Miss Ayala (!)" The teacher told Ava, deadpan and sarcastically.
Ava grinned widely, as she closed her eyes and a sweat-drop appears on her head, as she was setting up her desk for class.
But then, her watch starts beeping, quickly gets Ava's attention, as she lifts up her left wrist and looks at her watch, with a shocked look on her face, as the beeping was saying that there was trouble.
Ava had a grim look on her face, as she knew to leave class again before it even started, she sighed as she gets up and walked over to the teacher,
"I need to go, my... uncle is getting his doctorate degree and I promised I'd be there!" Ava told a lie to the teacher as she then quickly runs out of the classroom,
Now in the hallway, Ava was running down the hall, as the hallway was empty, but as Ava was running, coming from around the corner, was Centorea, as she wasn't in her wheelchair, she was walking in her true centaur self.
Ava widen eyed in shock as she quickly stops and sees Centorea, as the centaur looked at Ava,
Centorea stared at Ava with a straight face, "Skipping class again, Miss Ayala..?" She asked her,
Ava just stared at Centorea, with a speechless as she didn't know what to say.
But Centorea then had a gentle smile on her face, as she looked at Ava, "I'll cover you," Centorea told Ava,
Which surprises Ava, that Centorea, her principal, was going to cover for her this time, so she could leave school and deal with the trouble, but then Ava smiled as she knew that having a principal who knows that she a hero and who was also a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent may help Ava with balancing out being a hero and being a student.
Then Ava ran passed Centorea, who watches her, as she reaches the doors and pushes them open, as Ava springs into action.
(Authors Notes - A bit of a slow one, but happy on how it came out, and I hope that the people reading this doesn't get discouraged on how I didn't make Centorea into a huge sex-symbol, like in her harem anime, but please understand, THAT IS NOT A HAREM FANFIC! So, keep all your perverted fantasies to ya selves! Stay tuned for the next episode, as with dive in to more of what Taskmaster is planning and Randy's true in his team is called into question. Please review, favourite, follow and comment)
