Frida started to sweat, as Manny remained speechless at the sight of her. Maybe she shouldn’t have been so blunt about her new appearance and not blurted out everything to him in class. But being subtle sounded so stupid and she was certain Manny wouldn’t leave her over a few hundred pounds. At least, that’s what she kept telling herself. Every second that went by waiting fir a response was torture to the half-ton girl. She wanted some response, a shrug of the shoulders, a scream, even a loss of consciousness. She wanted to know what her lover felt, but he was remaining silent. Which couldn’t be said about someone else in the cafeteria.

“Look everyone! Manny Rivera’s fat girlfriend is even fatter! Point at her and laugh, like I am!”

“Oh for the love of churros,” Frida muttered as she swayed her massive bulk around to stare at that weird goth girl she had talked to yesterday. Whoever she was, she was standing on top of one of the tables and pointing at her. Whatsherface was looking more happy then Frida did when she found out you can double deep fry churros. She jabbed her finger at Frida, waiting for the laughter to start, which it did. High school kids knew only one way to deal with something out of the norm and that was taunt it. Frida had always been considered on the opposite side of the norm, but had avoided being teased because she was considered hot by societies standards. Not that she fat, she was free game to being picked clean by the social monster that was high school.

Laughter filled the room as everyone pointed at her and mocked her size. Frida would like to say that being laughed at didn’t bother her and that it didn’t matter what other people thought of her, but she really did. She liked being thought of as the hot girlfriend to Miracle City’s big hero. She liked having the snobby girls that she didn’t like be jealous of her. She liked the geeks drooling about here and wanking off at home while they thought about her. She wanted to be popular, it was one of the main reason’s she joined a band. Seeing her popularity destroyed, something started to die inside her. She was ready to walk away and eat until she was nothing but a blob. She wouldn’t cry. She might be fat, but she was no crybaby. Nope, no tears from her.

“Cry you fat slut! Cry for everyone to see!” Zoe screeched as she saw her greatest dream come to life in front of her. Frida had humiliated herself in front of everyone including Manny. Her popularity was dead, she could never show her face and El Tigre was all hers. She’d have the boy and she would show him what a real woman was, violent and possessive. Manny and Zoe would be the greatest couple in the high school and El Tigre and Black Cuervo would be the greatest crime couple in all of Miracle City. Good things really do happen to bad people.

Already dreaming of the wedding and shock collar she’d make him wear to electrocute him whenever he thought about anyone but her, Zoe failed to see Manny jump up onto the table beside her and lift up his arms.

“SHUT UP!”

The stopped the jeers and laughter instantly. Frida lifted her head to look up at her boyfriend as he stared out at the whole school. He was breathing deeply and looked angry. His chest rose and feel rapidly as he took deep, long breath. Then he screamed out, so everyone that had laughed at her would hear him loud and clear. “I LOVE FRIDA SUAREZ!!! IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW BIG SHE IS TO ME AND IT SHOULDN’T MATTER TO YOU!!! SHE’S STILL THE BRAVEST, HIPPEST AND MOST AWESOME PERSON IN ALL THIS CITY!!! SHE CAME HERE BECAUSE SHE KNEW THAT NO MATTER HOW SHE LOOKED SHE WOULD STILL BE AN AMAZING GIRL!!! SHE’S SEXY NO MATTER HOW MUCH SHE WEIGHS AND CAN STILL KICK BUTT!!! YOU BETTER RESPECT HER OR I’M GOING TO…..”

What Manny said next made over a dozen people scream and several faint on the spot. Even Zoe winced. She had been unaware that Manny had such a violently descriptive mind. After screaming his lungs out, Manny hopped down off the table and walked up to Frida. Her mouth hung open as she stared down at her boyfriend in shock. Then the tears came, but these were tears of pure joy. “You’d really do that to their spleens if they kept disrespecting me?”

Manny smiled timidly, suddenly realizing the huge spectacle he’d put on. No one would be talking about how fat Frida was now that rumours of him being a violent psycho boyfriend would be spread. But it was worth it. No one had the right to think his girlfriend was anything other then awesome. “I’m sorry I didn’t speak up sooner, but I was just trying to wrap my mind around the new you,” Manny croaked, his throat sore after screaming so loud. He took Frida’s hands in his. Her hands were bloated like sausages, but they felt just as warm and soft as they did last night. Nothing about their relationship had changed since last night. “Your gorgeous Frida, never doubt that for a second.”

Manny grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her into a deep kiss with his hands around her back. They shared a heartfelt, loving kiss, but Manny shouldn’t have tried to hold up Frida because he lost his grip after a second. Frida fell back, landing on Manny’s hand. They lied on the floor, still kissing even as Manny’s arm was being pulverized under his girlfriend. This was there moment, they were the only ones in the whole universe in that instant.

“You have got to be kidding me!!!”

The kiss broke and Manny and Frida looked up, seeing something that had sent everyone else running the second they saw it. Flames of pure hate burned around Zoe as rage coursed through her harder then ever before. The only fires brighter then the ones around her where the ones in her eyes, which were directed at the couple on the ground. Her mind had been slow to process what she heard Manny say. Her mind had always been unbalanced, but hearing the man she wanted go to a girl she considered hideously fat tipped the balance and sent her sanity plunging down into a bottomless pit. Saliva dripped from her teeth as hot tears poured from her eyes. There was only one logical thing to do now; kill Manny Rivera and date his corpse.

“Die!”

Zoe transformed into her Black Cuervo super suit, no longer caring that her secret identity was revealed. Everyone that had seen it was going to die very painfully soon. Manny and Frida gasped as they watched the seemingly innocent Zoe reveal herself to an evil super villain. “I don’t believe it! Creepy stalker Zoe Aves is really the creepy stalker Black Cuervo!” Frida screamed, finally remembering her name when it didn’t matter. Seeing that they were in trouble, they got to their feet and stared down the crazed villain.

“Let me take care of this!” Manny screamed as he spun his belt buckle and transformed into El Tigre. Letting his claws out, he prepared to fight his greatest enemy. He tried to focus his mind on the fight ahead of him, but his brain kept going back to Frida. The reason it had taken him so long to respond to her earlier had been because he had been fighting the urge to jump her right then and there. The fight ahead of him would be one of the toughest; Black Cuervo was out for blood. But the tougher the opponent, the more after fight sex he got and that was all the motivation he needed to cream the scorned psycho.
