Lady Thor.

      Newbie Pov.

       "Hello, father." I spat, venomously. Loki just laughed.

        "I'm not expecting a warm welcome, but a daughterly hug would be nice. No happy Father's Day!? I'm hurt." He fake cries. "You're a horrid daughter!" 

        "I'll stop being 'a horrid daughter', when you start being a decent father! You try to kill me at least twice per year!" I reason.

         "That's just fun, and games! I would be grieving if I actually succeeded, where would Joker be without his Batman?!" He asks indignantly.

          "Easy, running around Gotham, with no one to stop him. No grievance, at all." I state coldly. "Meanwhile if Batman wins, everybody is happy. Understand that we are both on a higher caliber than them. This doesn't apply." 

          "Sure it does! Just because you can murder both of them with your pinkie finger, doesn't mean they're not relevant!" He looks thoughtful. "Actually it isn't relevant. Batman can't kill Joker with both hands behind his back. Sorry, why haven't you killed me yet?" 

            "Because you only use illusions when you see me! If I knew where your base is, you'd be dead!" He gasps. 

            "Aha! That's it! I thought it was a daughter-father bond! I'm wounded by your lack of caring!" He pretends to have been shot in the heart. "I'm down, go on without me!" I have two options, wait three. One, go along with his little skit. Two, ignore it. Three kick him where the sun don't shine. You KNOW I went with three. "Agh! You have your uncles temper!" He shouts while on the floor.

           "I was called Lady Thor for a reason! Not Lady Loki! He's more of a father than you'll ever be to me!" I shout. "Happy Father's Day! Now leave!" He flashes away in green smoke. Then I hear a board creak by the door. I whirl towards it, kicking open the door. It falls off it's hinges, landing on the person behind it. I lift it, fist raised. I hear a groan from the other side of the door,

         "Ugh. What was that?! Why, Newbie?!" I recognize the voice, Sly. I keep my stance anyways. 

         "How much did you hear?!" I demand.

          "I heard you talk to your father? Who was he?! I feel like I recognized the voice, but I can't put my finger on it." Phew. He didn't find out. What he asks next stops me in my tracks. "What did you mean by Lady Thor, and Lady Loki?" 

           "Nothing! What do you want?!" I yell. This feels like an interrogation. Except I'm not sure who's the prisoner! 

            "I-I wanted to ask about my dad! How exactly do you know him?!" He stutters.

             "Old friend. Leave." He knows not to press me any further.

             "O-Okay! I'll go!" He manages to sit up, and he walks away. 

             Sly Pov.

             After telling the Few about my encounter with Newbie, we all turned to the most reliable source. The internet. Katz was typing Lady Loki on the computers search bar, and we hovered around him curiously. We waited for a moment, but no relevant things popped up. "Uh, try Lady Thor. That is what Newbie mentioned the most!" I suggest. He deletes the key term, and types in Lady Thor. Suddenly our computer is flooded with images, news articles, and videos! 

          "Jackpot!" Kala screeches. Katz clicks on the first article 'Lady Thor saves the day again!" He starts to read,

    "Lady Thor is a beautiful, almost cosmic being! She's is debatably the most powerful person ever! She has defeated Loki, Joker, and Thanos... at the same time! Nobody knows her heritage, but she is clearly blessed by the lightning god! One must assume that's her father! This is her hundredth victory in a row! This calls for celebration! There will be a worldwide toast in her honor! I personally have bought so much Lady Thor merchandise, that my girlfriend has dumped me! I don't even care! Back to the subject, the celebration will be at seven o clock, sharp. If you are allowed to drink, please do, in her honor!" Katz finishes, taking a deep breath. 

      "Thanos, Loki, and Joker! She must have been super strong!" Jose marvels.

      "Most powerful person!" Pbat exclaims. 

        "What does this have to do with Newbie?" Steven asks, quizzically. 

       "Maybe a superhero role model? Or a friend?" Castor tries to answer. Katz clicks on an image,

        I stare for a long minute. The majority of us were just... awed.

       "Sh-She's b-beautiful." Katz stutters. Yeah, she is. I thought. Castor seems unaffected,

       "Got enough curves for you?" Castor nudges Katz in the ribs, and Katz has an even deeper tint of red to his cheeks.

        "H-Hey! I-I uh...yes." Castor laughs at him playfully. Kala snaps us out of our daze.

         "Yeah, she's cute, but stay on task! This is about Newbie!" I nod, and Katz reluctantly goes back to another article. Katz starts,

        "Lady Thor, the truth. The monster."

      "Our beloved Lady Thor is a monster! I burnt all my merchandise after the truth was found out! I'm assuming you know that we need to kill her! There is a police force burning her house down as we speak! She shouldn't live! Her nearby family has been killed, and she had to watch! Her two sons, and daughters are dead! If they lived, they'd be as horrible as her! Join the police, and burn the house down! Kill the witch!" We were teary eyed. 

    "What did she do to deserve this?! The children, HER children, are dead!" I yell. 

    "What happened to 'cosmic being', huh!?" Kala angrily shouts. We eventually calmed down, they must have had a good reason! Maybe not for the children, but for burning her house! Katz clicks on another article about this,

     "One Last Challenge."

     "Unfortunately Lady Thor has survived the fire! She has announced that she is going into hiding, but is doing her last battle. She plans to round up every villain! The only one she doesn't plan to catch is herself! She is a freak of nature, and needs to burn! She is a Lady Monster! Jimmy Firecracker, out!" (Please get the reference!) Katz went scrolling for awhile, even under different search terms. It took twenty minutes to find the next one! 

       "Lady Monster's Last Battle."

      "Jimmy Firecracker here! Lady Monster is at the end of her tether with all these villains, but she seems to be winning! She has gotten rid of all of them, but three. Doomsday, Loki, and Death herself! I'm giving play by play. Loki just struck a large blow to the monster! She swung back, knocking him unconscious. Doomsday rushed at her, but she flips him over. She uses her hammer to weigh him down, making him unable to get up while she puts him in the cell. Now for the hard one, death. Death raises her scythe, and Lady Monster is hit! That is a death blow for sure! After a moment, Lady Monster shrugs it off! How?! Death is too stunned to block the hit towards her face, and is out cold. The Lady wins! The police force is trying to catch her, but she escapes by use of a smokescreen! Before she left, she claimed she's retiring. Lady Monster is gone!"

     "W-Wow. She caught Death, and everyone else, at the same time!" Alex was awed. We are too! Kala focuses on the sad part,

     "She did all that, but was still called a monster! They killed her family!" There's a moment of silence, before we hear a quiet voice.

    "It's unfair, isn't it? She did everything she could to impress them. Yet she was ridiculed after the truth came out. Lady Monster, they called her." We spin around, finding Newbie behind us!

      "N-Newb-bie!" I stutter.

      "They took everything she had from her. Her family, her title, her dignity. Her children were slaughtered. Most people don't even remember her. Most of those people don't care." She continues, in a cold, detached voice. "She only wanted to help them. Look where that got her." 

     "Wh-What do you mean, how do you know this?!" Castor asks. 

     "Stories. I've heard a few." Cryptic, hmm. Then again, Newbie is always cryptic. I don't think I've ever gotten a straight answer from her! 

     "What made them hate her?!" Alex asks.

      "Family." Why you gotta be so cryptic Newbie?!

        "What does this have to do with you?!" Pbat inquires. She shook her head.

       "I'm not obligated to answer." Before we could stop her, she walks out the door. Then I notice something. Her bandanna fell off! It flutters to the floor, but she doesn't notice. I grab it, but she's already out the door. I bring it back to the group, Castor glances at it.

     "That was... strange." I turn it over in my hand, and discover the impossible. It's stained with tears. Newbie cried!
