Yang was just looking at the photograph of Raven. Studying it intently as well as looking at the brief personality profile that was provided, she came to one conclusion.

"My family is messed up."

"What makes you say that?" Carolina asked.

"My mother is a coward who runs a 'tribe' of killers and thieves. My uncle is a walking jinx. My sister has some weird eye powers that for some reason, she never bothered to hone so that we could actually stand a chance against Cinder." Yang listed off

"Whose bright idea was it to skip over some major ability like that?"

"Probably some idiot with too much or not enough time on their hands." Yang replied.

"Clearly, they didn't think that hard on it."

"Speaking of my mother, apparently, she had a decoy maiden named Vernal." Yang emphasized.

"I… I don't get it."

Yang paused for a moment. "I told this story to Miguel, and he got it."

"Got what?"

"The word 'vernal' means 'spring-like.'" Yang ground out, "The decoy spring maiden was literally named 'spring!'"

"Isn't Cinder's last name 'fall'?" Carolina shot back.

"You know, the fact that you sound like Pyrrha makes me uncomfortable talking about her killer with you." Yang replied.

"Bite me." Carolina replied, "Anyways, you were talking about your family?"

"Right…" Yang recalled, "Anyways, my dad is a guy who can't take care of kids to the point that he'll pawn it off on a five-year old so that he could go work. I'm eighty percent positive that my stepmother only raised me because she was legally required to-"

"You have issues." Carolina interrupted, "And I should know what that looks like."

"Whatever." Yang waved off.

"What about you?"

"I have abandonment issues, a tendency to self-sacrifice way too much…"

Carolina nodded. She's seen the footage. Yang did indeed have that nasty habit of not thinking about herself and-

"Also I think I have an Oedipus complex."

"… What?"


"Can you believe that Twilight is going to show up? I can't believe that Twilight is going to show up! Oooh! I'm so excited! Do you think we can sing our songs together? Oh! I hope we can sing our songs together! Do you think Applejack and Rarity are going to show up? Oh! What about Fluttershy? I wasn't as excited ever since me and Wade became friends!"

Needless to say, Rainbow Dash lost track after the tenth word. Pinkie was talking so fast that Quicksilver would only be able to pick up every twelfth word.

The rainbow-maned equine guessed that at the speed that Pinkie Pie was talking, even the Flash would have trouble keeping up.

"Pinkie!" Rainbow shouted, "slow down a bit!"

The pink pony giggled a little bit, "Oh, Dashie, that's funny coming from the fastest pony in Equestria."

"Explains why you can't get a date." Gaara said.

"GAH!" Both Pinkie and Rainbow Dash jumped in surprise.

"How do you do that?" Rainbow asked.

"Ninja."

"… I don't even know what I expected." Rainbow said, still a little shaken up.

"I'm honestly surprised that Raven isn't fighting Surfer."

"GAH!" This time, even Gaara jumped in surprise.

"Okay, how did you do that?" Rainbow asked.

"I was here the entire time." Mewtwo replied, "Did you not notice me? I wasn't exactly being all that stealthy."

"Whatever. What do you mean about that Raven girl fighting someone on a surfboard?"

"Silver Surfer," Mewtwo corrected, "Is the herald of a powerful planet-ending being who joined the heroic side after experiencing the compassion of humanity. Plus, they fought in that other timeline I was in."

"Not that again." "Oh yeah, I forgot about that." Rainbow Dash and Pinkie said respectively.

"Why do you believe him about that?"

"Because I was with the author when he came up with the idea." Pinkie replied.

"I will never understand what you talk about when you say stuff like that." Gaara replied.

"I got used to it after spending enough time with her and Wade in that branch-timeline." Mewtwo replied, "Then again, that other world was messed up enough to think that Azula's girlfriend could beat Sakura."

"Well it's not like that Ty Lee girl has trouble taking on numerous opponents. Who's to say that she can't take on someone who moves at high speeds?"

All three of them looked at Gaara.

"What? - Just because I'm an 'emo sand edgelord' means I can't enjoy a good series made by Americans?"

"Can we go back to why Mewtwo thinks that Silver Surfer would be a better matchup?"

"I'd rather not." Mewtwo replied, "Ugh, the debate about whether that was rigged or not was almost as bad as the debate with Gaara's fight."


"Have you ever noticed how similar these two sound?" Tracer asked.

"What do you mean?" Carol asked, coming over to check out what Tracer was talking about.

"I've been looking at a few clips, and this Twilight pony girl sounds an awful lot like the Raven girl in this show, and in this video game." Tracer pointed to the titles.

"Well, there's only so many ways vocal cords can form, that there are bound to be ones that form similar to each other."

"But… She's horse!" Tracer exclaimed, "How can she have a similar voice as a half-demon?"

"Wait… She's part human?" Carol tried to clarify.

"Yeah. Why?"

"I thought that she was… Azeratian, or whatever."

"I think you mean 'Azarathian' love." Tracer corrected.

"You read too many superhero comics."

"You're just jealous that I read more of Spidey's stuff than yours."


Wade: What was that about an Oedipus complex?

X: Oh that? - That was just a small jab at the shippers for pairing Yang with a dark-haired woman who wields a sword that's infused with dust and has a tendency to abandon her.

Wade: … You think about things too much.

X: I disagree. Other people don't think about things enough.
