It was a dark and rainy night as many grieving people were gathered atop a hill outside the limits of Miracle City. Inside the center of a large black gate stood a table where pictures of Puma Loco and Lady Gobbler committing various crimes stood. Around the table stood all of the members of the Rivera family dressed in black and the other two members of the Flock of Fury were standing tall, but unable to keep the tears from rolling down their faces.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to remember the lives of Puma Loco and Lady Gobbler, two of the most notorious super villains Miracle City has ever known. Honoring their last request, this funeral is not just about them individually, but also about the joy they had in life during their professions." Spoke a Spaniard spider with three sets of eyes and six arms with a long grey beard wearing black leathered spiked bracelets and spiked boots, also known as El Tarantula; the appointed funeral director and close friend of Puma Loco. "As many of you may not know, I'm a chivalrous man, so I will be starting with Lady Gobbler, Lady Gobbler was..." he began

As the retired villain began speaking of her beloved grandmother, Black Cuervo slowly began clenching her fists in anger of the truth, and ran away sobbing her eyes out. When Manny saw this, he quickly chased after her.

"Cuervo, are you okay?" asked Manny as he found her leaning into a tree, crying into her arms

"Why would you care?" the raven themed villainess asked angrily as she turned around, mascara running down her face and her talons at the ready if she needed to tear someone apart

"I know how it feels, I loved my Grandpapi and still do, and even though he's gone I still have memories of him and all the tricks of villainy he taught me. That's how I believe he will live on; I'll remember him every time I'm committing an act of crime." The youngest Rivera explained.

"T-That's how I plan on remembering my Grandmami." Black Cuervo said with a small hopeful smile as she wiped away her tears.

"I know I've already apologized for what I did, but I want to say again that I'm truly sorry for how I treated you, I understand if you still hate me though..." reiterated Manny

"I-I've never hated you Manny, I only hated the reason that you would be with me is because you wanted something and didn't like me for me." Cuervo admitted

"I do like you Cuervo; you're nice, pretty, and fun to be around." The youngest Rivera admitted.

"R-Really?" asked the youngest Aves in a tone of disbelief with a small blush across her face and a small hopeful smile across her mouth

"Yeah..." shyly answered Manny as he blushed looking into her red eyes

Before the youngest Rivera knew what he was doing, he lifted Black Cuervo's helmet off of her head, revealing the purple mask that still hid her identity. As her nemesis leaned closer towards her, the villainess did not object as her lips met Manny's in an unexpected kiss. A moment after pulling away, silence fell over them as they engulfed each other in an embrace. On a portal in a yellow sky, two skeleton people were watching the two young super powered children comfort each other.

"It's about time, don't you think?" asked the woman

"Si, with them the war between our two families is finally over; besides, in this new life, we can start again from scratch." The man said as he grabbed the woman's boney hand.

"Oh Puma, I'm glad that we have been given this second chance." Cooed the woman

As the view of the world closed, Puma Loco and Lady Gobbler walked hand in hand towards the small town in the distance.
