Monica.

Rich. Secret identity.

Digit.

Teen. Ward.

The Crimson Mantis has a new sidekick – The Scarlet Spider!
The New Dynamic Duo will need to stay out​ of Virginia, though. No crime-fighting future trips to Old Dominion.

The Mother of States has effectively outlawed most superheros. Except on traditional holidays, that is.

The same analogy to Batman and Robin had occurred to me, but with a different gimmick for Digit's crime fighting persona. Since she was used to having claws, and lost them in her transformation, I figured she might be more comfortable carrying a pair of knives, or perhaps a pair of hatchets.

She could adopt the identity of the Cleaver Ward... in homage to the fact that Monica has fostered her into a situation which is sort of backwards from the traditional nuclear family.

(Places a signed omnibus edition of "Charlotte's Web" into the Pun Jar. It's the one with the teaser chapter of the unpublished sequel "Wilbur Pig and the Templeton of Doom")

Too busy to talk right now. Dealing with a crisis at the Martins' place. They were drilling for water, and struck a layer of what tests showed was actually diluted yoghurt (the geologists point the finger at nearby farms improperly dumping surplus milk).

And now, little Timmy has fallen down the lassi well.

You know, it hit me that, if Pablo really really REALLY wanted to be sadistic, this would be the time to introduce Mom Villarreal to the cast...

ER, NO... just some $%&£ing silly RL person with cosplay mania... :( Paras would call him stupid for doing it in daylight, too!... :)

If you *have* to 'do your thing' , it has to be dark, with a quick getaway before alarms are raised... :/

I would think she could get those requirements w/ something like a Miracle Grow Tea every now and then but get most of her Energy from spreading out, in loose bramble mode, in the raw sunshine...
