Gertrude Turns Good

After seeing Steve get credit for almost killing me, Jacky Jane and I shot up and started yelling at Steve saying things like he’s absolutely revolting, skinny and lanky, he’s got yellow teeth (not like mine are any better), and that he’s not fit to be a hero and save people. But then it hit me. The pain I saw in Steve’s eyes as we were calling him names reminded me of when I was a young girl and the girls down the street picked on me every day. I realized that Steve wasn’t a loser, I was! I didn’t need to destroy everyone that crossed my path, and I didn’t even need to be evil. My mother raised me better than that. So I decided to pull a quick one on Jacky Jane and join Steve’s side to prevent her from getting the sword. Us two paired together made us seem too intimidating for Jacky Jane and she ran off. Steve and I realized how good of a team we make, and I realized I really didn’t mean all the things I said about him. We ended up falling in love and are known as the city’s power couple, just like in the movies.
