Noelle - Day 32 (R.M.S. Marathon?)

Hiya!
So I'm back!  I know, I know, I was gone for so long - I missed you too!  Everybody missed me so much they were all like, "Oh mi gosh Noelle's gone again what are we going to dooooooooo!?"  *Running around in confused circles like ducks*  Um...maybe not, but still, it's funny to think about.

So I may not do Jillian's challenge, although I might throw in a story-starter or two (I'm doing this first one) but what I really wanted to ask you is, since I already have a lot written, do you want to do a Random Marvel-based Story Marathon? Meaning, sections, every day, until Friday?  Comment today with your opinion, not that it really matters cuz, as you might have guessed, that's right, I'm doing it.  Do comment though, would you dear?

Alrighty, if you're in the mood for my mermaidian story-starter and also parts 8 and 9 of R.M.S., click the link below....suspense....suspense....you are getting veeeeeerryy sleepy....so sleepy....
Oh, I see how it is.  You're a rebel...I like you!

Anyway, here's my mermaid: Arrogant Mermaid, Nisha Marlet

Name: Nisha Marlet
Species: Do I have to specify (mermaid, duh!)
Accessories: Several ear piercings, one shark tooth necklace, and a sea-dragon tattoo on her arm
Hair-Color: Too cool for you (purplish blue)
Tail-Color: Dazzling (Grey blue)
Fin-Color: What's the difference darling?
Personality: Always ahead of the groove, too cool for everybody except her best friends
Favorite pastime: underwater racing.

Challenge: Someone write a story of a super nice, normal-ish mermaid, Nisha Marlet and her BFF Liza Hoffturner becoming the three best friends and underwater racing stars and you will be my hero.

Random Marvel-based Story (Parts 8 and 9)

By the time everybody had de-webbed themselves, Sam was sick on this.  That girl - the new girl - she had taken them all down in less than two minutes!  All that training, all the real fights that they had been in, and just a short kid with no powers - not even any tech - had taken them down.

He stalked over to her, angry as anything.  She was talking on the phone?!  The nerve of her!

“Yeah Dad,” she said quietly, “I’m in.  Of course.  No.  No they’re not happy, but I’m in...I hope.  Hold on.”

Nova smiled, thinking that he had her pinned.  She whirled around and pointed at him, glaring.  “Two words,” she said.  “White.  Rabbits.”

Nova’s eye’s widened.  “How...” He started to ask, then shook his head and said in what he hoped was a deeper, more-hero-y voice.  “Who are you talking to?  Daddy?”

“I’m going to have to call you back,” the new girl said into the phone.  “If I’m going to beat these guys into shape I need to talk to them now.  Yeah.  Bye.”

“Alright,” the new girl said, “Am I in or not?  I don’t have all day.”  The web warriors nodded at each other, except for Nova.

“Um, no way.  That girl’s bad news!”  His team mates stared at him.  “She won’t even take off the mask!”

Sam turned to the girl, who was smirking under said mask.  “In this team, we trust each other.  You’ve done nothing but beat us up - how do we know that we can trust you?”

“Fine,” she said cooly.  “Be that way.”  And peeled off the mask.

*******

It’ll be ok, it’ll be ok, it’ll be ok.  Just take off the mask, Jess.  Just take it off.

To be fair, it was kinda funny to see the famous web warrior’s faces when she took off that mask.  Beaten up by a fourteen year old, a kid with no powers.  How do you like me now, Bucket Head?

On the other hand, there was the chance that they would turn her down.  A fourteen year old, a kid with no powers.  Would they see her potential?

There was a moment of silence while the group before her slowly processed who she was.  Jess could practically see their heads working, figuring it out - adding two and two together.  Jess + mask = hero that just beat the web warriors in two minutes flat.

“It was a brave thing you did,” Power Man said in the back.  Everybody looked at him.  “You took a chance, and you have my vote for that.”  He put his hand out.

“I have a policy of giving people a chance - even if they do beat me up,” Spider Man said.  He put his hand over Luke’s.

White Tiger sighed.  “If Director Fury thinks you have the gut to join...”  She trailed off, but put her hand in.

There was another silence.  Iron Fist locked eyes with Jess, but nodded.  “You have the promise of a new day, but the experience of many years.”  His hand went in.

“Well...I dunno...”  Nova crossed his arms.  “Do I have to like her?”

“Just put your hand in!”  The team chorused.  Sam did, and with that, Jess Willow was officially a hero.
