The bounty hunter picked the roach thing out of his mouth, and huffed out a cloud of smoke. "S'pose I could describe who I'm looking for, 'n case you've seen her... Just as long as you try not to get jealous. There's plenty of the Main Man to go around."

Janet chuckled and said "I'll try my best. So its a woman you're after? I guess that narrows it down a bit, though this is a pretty big city." She was doing herb est to ignore the roach thing that he spit back up.

Robbie followed the trail of destruction to find that it led to... a motorcycle? And near it was the ugliest, palest biker he'd ever seen. He just seemed to be casually talking to some woman, though (who looked familiar, though he didn't know why.)

He decided to watch them quietly from a distance for now.

One Week Later

Did you know there are populations of psychotic giant mutant crocodiles that lie in hibernation in the sewers all over the world in a whole bunch of major population centers, such as Jump City?

Thor knows.

The Prince of Thunder emerged from the liquid waste with one vanquished mega-reptile slung over his shoulder and one nigh-devoured man under his arm. No hapless maiden in the clutches of a dragon, but Thor felt pretty good about himself anyway.

The 'Main Man' rolled the roach/cigar thing around in his mouth a bit while Janet talked.

"Yeah, it's a chick. Red hair, green eyes, orange skin, huge rack. You seen her around?"

Despite his crude description, Janet was pretty sure she knew who he was talking about. "Actually, yes I believe I have seen her. Able to fly and shoot lasers? She has been helping keep the city safe from dangers. Why are you after her?" She asked, now more than a little suspicious.

Black Panther eavesdropped on Janet and the pale alien thug cautiously, using his superhuman hearing to pick up the conversation from a nearby alley. His knowledge of an orange-skinned, green eyed girl was superficial, and he hadn't talked to her before, but from what he had heard, she was apparently just a typical metahuman named 'Kory'. The white-skinned, red eyed man looked to be a mutant himself, if his appearance wasn't just cosmetics.

Black Panther didn't like the implications, either way.

Still hidden behind a bush (out of sight of the other characters) Robbie overheard enough to realize the 'space biker' was a bounty hunter looking for Starfire. However, he hesitated to transform and confront him yet- after all, for all he knew about her, she might be a criminal hiding on Earth. Though he had a strong suspicion he might have to do so anyway...

Janet wasn't exactly surprised by his stance on this, he wouldn't be a bounty hunter if he was easy to sway after all. She shifted a bit uncomfortably and asked "Ummm, did they give you a reason for why they want her?"

The mercenary was beginning to get a little disgruntled from all the questioning.

"Curious lil' filly, aintcha? Still, nuthin' wrong with being curious." He leaned in with that suggestive smile. "The ladies are always wondering what I've got stashed away."

There was a bigger, meaner crocodile, more so than all the rest. She wasn't the alpha or the brood mother or anything, she actually lived alone from the rest and generally slept in peace. When roused, she became a monstrosity of whirling madness and pain, the mutations that made her even bigger than her kin made her every waking moment one of mind-shattering agony and hunger. She preferred to sleep and, were she self-aware, pray she'd never wake up.

Thor knew none of that. When his battle with the rest of the crocodile jostled her lair and woke her up, he assumed this greater monstrosity bursting upon him was the leader of the pack. He dubbed her the Crocodile King, because he's not that well-acquainted with reptilian anatomy. The human had been place out of harm's way and now Thor could truly let loose. A war whoop of sheer joy echoed from his throat and the Prince thundered forth.

Oh god this was getting harder to put up with by the moment, but she couldn't exactly just let him go off and do what he wanted. She had to think of something to do, and keep him occupied in the mean time. She could only help that someone would come save her from this unbearable situation. Janet put on a fake smile and said "Well, its not every day that I meet such an.....interesting man such as your self. I guess I was just a little overwhelmed."

After the short conversation with the different superheroes last night, Star and Logan had returned home. Wolverine went out for a little while longer to return the files to Mr. Bones and report to him the alias of all the superheroes he met. Knew the skeleton government agent would be annoyed at just a bunch of alias instead of hard information, but as long as he gets the info he needs, the X-Man could care less.

The rest of the week as a bit more productive for him than the past few. He was going around finding both a good school for Star to go in as well as finding a job for himself. He already got some prospective leads at various dojos he could apply as a teacher as well as some delivery jobs. He found a twofer at one nice looking local community college where he could take a job as a gym teacher as well as apply Star as a student.

Today he was planning to go to the school with Star to see how she liked it. Hopefully nothing weird will happen today........

Robbie started worrying that the big brute might want to molest the lady. Then he remembered that HE was supposed to be a hero; if anyone should be dealing with a bounty hunter from space, it should be him, not some (as far as he knew) average woman.

Besides, he was bored.

-*Hero time!* he thought as, still under cover of the park bush, he pulled out the H-Dial and dialed H-E-R-O!

The man leered. "'Overwhelming' is my middle name. Or it would be if I had a last name. Anyway, what do you say we make like a pepper shaker and-"

There was a bright light behind them. The merc turned, confused, and both of them saw the strange superhero that emerged.

Regrettably, Robby was a girl once again, but this time she was a small girl, no older than ten. She was dressed in orange spandex, with a mask that had green visors, and had a curved, pointed tail on her back. She possessed the proportionate strength, speed and stamina of a sand scorpion, along with the ability to track prey through vibrations. Her moniker: Sandy Scorpion

The mercenary was a little puzzled by this new arrival. He looked over his shoulder at Janet. "Your planet have stray critters?"

Janet let out the quietest sigh of relief possible when the large man's innuendo was cut off by the sudden flash of bright light. She leaned to the side to look around him and said "Not a scorpion I've ever seen. Might be a super hero though." It looked like a costume if you took away the tail after all.

Robbie facepalmed. Not only a girl again, but a LITTLE girl this time!? He wondered if someone was somehow messing with him on purpose.

Unfortunately, his- her- presence was now revealed, so she might as well do what she could.

Sandy Scorpion walked up to the Space Biker and the woman and said, "Excuse me, mister, but do you have permission to hunt bounties on Earth?" she asked, in a squeaky little voice. Oh my God, I sound like a Rugrats character! she thought embarrassed.

The merc was conflicted. On the one hand, this kid was like any other yertwas who thought they could come up to the Main Man and tell him what to do. On the other hand, it was nigh impossible to take her seriously.

"And what if I don't?" He cracked his knuckles, "Pipsqueak?"

Matt was on his way to court, a matter of defending an aprtment house's residents from eviction by a landlord who clearly was behind on neccesary repairs, when he smelled...the worst thing he had ever experienced, enough to make him dizzy and nauseous. He wondered if there was a toxic waste spill nearby. He slipped into a nearby alley, stashed his briefcase up on a fire escape and took out his mask, quickly stashing his court clothes in the case and also taking out a pauir of nose filters. This wasn't the first time he'd encoutered sensory overload and he'd learned to be prepared. Even with them, the smell was still strong but bearable. He went in search of the source.

"Don't underestimate me" Sandy said not sounding as impressive as she wanted, "I AM one of Earth's defenders. And if you have no permission to operate here- and as far as I know, no extraterrestrial does- then you'll have to leave, or the authorities will kick you out. And we have some powerful enforcers, let me warn you."

"Huh! I'd like to see them try, I really would." He went over to his space hog, bumped the side, and opened up a compartment. Reaching in, he picked what looked like a crowbar out from inside. "Now then, sweetie..." He patted the crowbar in his other hand. "Why don't you go back to the play park, before papa thinks about givin' you a spanking?"

Kori Anders had been spending most of her day at the college. While it seemed like she had fun, there was only one notable incident though, involving Kori arguing with her science teacher over how Faster-Than-Light Travel could be possible and proving that his rudimentary primitive understanding of science was completely and utterly wrong. That science teacher would resign from the school later that day in disgrace

Kori did find out that hamburgers and hot dogs were what was supposed to have mustard on them, and so had a relatively normal lunch. Most of her classes went relatively well save for that unfortunately derailed science class. Soon she was ready to go back home with Logan.

Black Panther emerged from the inky shade the moment he saw Lobo threaten Sandy Scorpion. He already had earned the warrior's suspicions just by being a mercenary and a thug, but now, he was stating his intent to beat her. Superhero or not, hitting a child is unacceptable.

"Listen, 'Main Man'. If you lay so much as a finger on her, your new name will be the Mangled Man."
