RWBY: Logan

A Rogue's Tale Part 2

Anna Marie stared in shock as she looked at Ms. Marvel. "It can't be," said Anna. "Can't be what?" asked Betsy confused. Anna pointed at Ms. Marvel but when Betsy looked, she didn't see anything. "Anne, there's no one there," said Betsy. Anna replied, "Ah swear ah am looking at Ms. Marvel in front of me." Betsy asked, "Are you sure your mind isn't playing tricks with you?" Anna insisted, "Name one time ah have ever lied to you. Ah swear she's here." Betsy looked into Anna's mind so she could see what her best friend is seeing. Betsy widened her eyes as she said, "Oh my goodness, you can see Ms. Marvel. But how?" Anna predicted, "Ah guess when ah accidentally absorbed Ms. Marvel's semblance, ah musta took her life force." Ms. Marvel suddenly said, "Listen, I know it was an accident, Anna Marie." Anna jumped as she exclaimed, "Oh mah God, she knows mah name!" Betsy asked, "She knows your name?" Ms. Marvel chuckled, "Of course I know your name. I've been in your mind for four years. Watching you grow to become an excellent young lady and a huntress no doubt." Anna blushed, "Ah'm really flattered, but why are you talkin' to me after all this time?" Ms. Marvel answered seriously, "Because I need your help to get back to my body." Anna held her head as she said, "Ah don't know how." Ms. Marvel reassured, "All you have to touch me and I'll do all the work." Betsy asked, "Why do you need to get back to your body?" Ms. Marvel explained, "My semblance was originated from the alien race called the Kree. The Kree are an alien race that are bred on war against their enemies the shapeshifting Skrulls. One of their operatives Mar-Vell who was stationed here at Remnant was a xenologist who came to study our resources. He did in the end help save our planet but his energy flowed onto me, making me Ms. Marvel and an Avenger. When my life force was trapped inside your mind, something unfortunate happened." Anna asked, "What?" Ms. Marvel answered gravely, "A twisted version of myself who had contempt and anger toward being trapped here tried to take over you. I stopped her many times before, but now I cannot and she knows it. If you send me back to my body from my long coma, it will stop her from taking over you." Anna was astonished of all what Ms. Marvel had just told her. All this time Ms. Marvel had been protecting Anna from the inside of her mind. Betsy said, "I think I spotted the Avengers overlooking the Vytal Festival Tournament. Maybe they can help us." Ms. Marvel nodded, "Go find the Avengers. You may not have a lot of..." Then Ms. Marvel grabbed the sides of her head as she screamed. She started to transform into her twisted self. Her blond hair turned dirty, her fair skin turned green and scaly, and her straight teeth got twisted. The evil Ms. Marvel pointed at Anna and snarled, "You brat! Trapping me for what felt like an eternity! Now your blonde bimbo of a guardian angel won't save you this time!" The original Ms. Marvel reasserted control of her fists and punched the evil Ms. Marvel. Ms. Marvel managed to get control of the mouth as she urged, "Hurry! I don't know how long I can contain her!" She disappeared as the two girls looked at each other. Betsy declared, "C'mon! Let's go, Anne." The two ran off to find the Avengers.

The Avengers, the old generation of X-Men, and Raven Darkholme were watching the battle between Team JNPR and Team BRNZ when Anna and Betsy came in their chambers. "Are ya the Avengers?" asked Anna. Iron Man replied, "Yeah, why? You two girls are fans?" Betsy said, "Yes, but getting your autographs will have to wait until later. It's about Ms. Marvel!" Wasp asked, "What about Ms. Marvel?" Anna answered, "The fact she's in mah mind fighting an evil version of herself after tellin' me about her semblance coming from an alien named Mar-Vell!" Black Panther observed, "That is only something Ms. Marvel would know. We're listening." Anna explained, "Ms. Marvel told me to find her comatose body so ah can send her life force back to her body." Xavier touched the side of his head as he said, "Anna Marie is telling the truth. We must send Ms. Marvel back before it is too late." Thor declared, "Then we has't not time to waste!" Ant-Man agreed, "C'mon, I can show you where we keep Ms. Marvel." The Avengers and the two girls went on their way to Avengers Mansion.

Ant-Man led the two girls to the comatose Ms. Marvel who was on life support. To their surprise, the Kree Mar-Vell was also there. "I heard what was going on and the guards of Prison 42 let me out so I could help Carol," explained Mar-Vell. Betsy asked, "Who is Carol?" Ant-Man answered, "Carol Danvers is Ms. Marvel's real name." Mar-Vell asked Anna, "Were you the one who absorbed Ms. Marvel's life force and semblance?" Anna nodded, "By accident. Ah didn't mean to." Mar-Vell nodded believing her as he said, "The cosmic semblance that Ms. Marvel had is now rejuvenated back into her body. The only thing left is her life force back into her body." Ant-Man asked, "How is that possible?" Mar-Vell explained, "It's simple Kree science." Betsy encouraged Anna, "All right, Anne. You made it this far, now let's go bring back an Avenger." Anna nodded as she turned her bracelet off and peeled off her glove.

In Anna's mind, the evil Ms. Marvel stood triumph over Ms. Marvel. "You couldn't defeat me even on your best day," taunted Evil Ms. Marvel. "Now to finish the job!" Then she saw her hand disappearing. "What?" questioned Evil Ms. Marvel. "What is happening?" Ms. Marvel smirked, "I wasn't trying to defeat you. I was buying our girl Anna a little time for to find my body. Bon voyage, evil me!" Evil Ms. Marvel kept disappearing as she screamed, "Nooooo!" When her evil counterpart faded into nonexistence, Ms. Marvel flew to the doorway heading back to her old body.

Anna finally took her bare hand off of Ms. Marvel's head as the Avenger from a four year long coma finally woke up. Anna put her glove back on as Ms. Marvel looked around to see her fellow Avengers and smiled, "It's good to be back." Wasp was delighted as she hugged Ms. Marvel hard as she said, "Don't you ever do that to me again! Promise?" Ms. Marvel chuckled, "I won't." Thor smiled, "Tis valorous to see our cousin from a four year long catch but a wink back." Captain America agreed, "It sure is." Mar-Vell nodded, "All that is well and good, but I believe I still have my time at Prison 42." He held out his wrists as Black Panther declined, "I believe the cuffs are unnecessary at this point. Let us go without any harsh treatment." Black Panther and Iron Man walked with Mar-Vell on their way to Prison 42. Ms. Marvel turned to see Anna and Betsy as she smiled, "Thank you for bringing me back." Anna replied, "Thank you for not lettin' an evil Ms. Marvel take over my head." Wasp asked in surprise, "An evil Ms. Marvel?! How do we know you're not the evil Ms. Marvel?" She expressed it by cutely narrowing her eyes. Ms. Marvel scoffed, "If I was, I would steal all of your fashion designs and get all the credit." Wasp declared, "Oh no you don't!" Wasp shrunk down and began hitting her fists on Ms. Marvel's shoulder but with no avail. The three laughed as Anna and Betsy remembered something.

Flashback to a year ago
Anna Marie and Betsy Braddock had moved on from their goth style and began wearing more regular clothes as their semblances began to progress. Betsy was now wearing a dark blue tank top with dark blue ninja pants, a red fleecy belt, and dark blue leather boots. Her hair was now shoulder length and looking more purple than black. Anna Marie was growing her hair out and now wearing a yellow and green onesie suit covering her body except her head and brown cloth short sleeved jacket. "Too bad we can't go to the same school," complained Betsy. "I really enjoyed being your friend for the last few years." Anna nodded, "Yeah, me too. At least we have scrolls so we call each other." Betsy shrugged, "Still won't be the same." Anna nodded, "Yeah..." The two looked at each other and then hugged. "I miss you already," confessed Betsy. Anna replied, "Me, too." Betsy asked, "When the Vytal Festival comes around, will you find me?" Anna promised, "Yes, ah will." The two girls hugged for what seemed like an eternity, and let go as they left to go to their respected schools.

Present day at Avengers Mansion
The three were laughing until Wasp finally stopped and grew back to normal size. "How about we go shopping?" offered Anna. "I'm in!" nodded Betsy. Wasp shot her hand up as Ms. Marvel accepted, "I've been a coma for four years so yes, I want to go shopping." Ms. Marvel changed into her costume and the four went on their way to the mall.
