//------------------------------// // Chapter 9 // Story: Equestria Super Powered Pony League // by Creativa-Artly01 //------------------------------// One day in early morning, Cartier stops by the store to work on his designs in the wee hours of the morning before Lina finally opens it up for the day. His new line is a Canterlot Chic style that he can't wait to share with the world. Meanwhile, at her home, Spring Flower is brushing her hair getting ready for another long day of managing the store, while at her apartment on the other edge of town, Lina is finishing up a spring veil to display alongside her dresses when she comes to the store later. Three hours later, the two mares arrive at the store. Lina puts her veil on a mannequin and displays it alongside the rest of her Spring Couture lineup. Cartier then comes out and puts his designs on display on his mannequins on the far side of the store. Fifteen minutes later, the two open the store for business. Everything goes as normal until Lina is pulled away to tend to some business elsewhere. She gets into costume and heads off to see what Golden needs her to do this time. She sighs as she flies off on one of her levitating gems she can create, "the job of a superhero is never truly done. I'm glad I hired a manager or else my store would flop." At the Hall, Lina gets her mission from Golden. "Lina, there's a bad pony on the loose named No Sew. He's targeting your store. I just thought I'd let you know so you could be prepared." "If it's something like that, next time just call me, you have my number," she replies annoyed before heading back to the store seriously angry and ticked off with him. Back at the store, she goes behind the desk and makes sure that no suspicious ponies are lurking around. Soon, however, she spots a mysterious pony she's never seen before and confronts him and sure enough, it's No Sew. She then gets into costume and knocks him out with a spinning gem to the forehead. She then calls Golden who gladly comes and takes No Sew away and locks him in the Brigade with the other villains. She then uses her magic to return into her simple puffed sleeved dress and gets back to work. After all, her motto is "businessmare first, super heroine second" and for her, that motto will never ever change.
