Everyone, this little squirrel is my friend. And when my duplicate offered to remake the world to make things better for her and her whole species, she turned her down. You know why? Because she believed in us. Because she believed in the idea that all of us--humans and squirrels-- are better together than apart. She knows our human failings better than anyone, and Tippy still thought we deserved a chance to fix things. She sacrificed herself for that idea. And we are gonna fix things. Right now. Starting with her.

I didn't know what the hell was going on. But it was an invasion. Right here in America. An invasion! And my first thought -- my first thought was: The baby! I've got to find and protect the baby. And maybe that doesn't surprise you, but it surprised the hell out of me. I will confess this... When I first auditioned to be the nanny, I was really hoping that the Avengers would notice me and say amongst themselves: We really need her on the team. I took this job hoping to be an Avenger but now all I cared about -- all I cared about was protecting the child.

--Doreen Green (Earth-616)

Attention, crazy mind-controlled mob!! I know how Ratatoskr works, how she preys on your insecurity and jealousy to make you attack others because you feel bad about yourself. But you don't have to let that happen! The only reason you'd do that is if you're ashamed of your insecurities! I am a super hero and I am here to tell you that feeling insecure is nothing to be ashamed of. We all have anxieties, but--and this may sound crazy--they're actually kinda what makes us awesome! Red talk: I was insecure about my own fighting and jealous of other people's skills. So you know what I did? I got better at fighting!! Envy isn't about the person you're jealous of: it's about yourself. It's your mind telling you exactly what you want' and you know what that is? That's friggin' self-knowledge, and it's the most important thing in the universe. It's how we tell ourselves that we need to work on in order to make ourselves the better, happier, more awesome version of us that we deserve to be! So what do you say, huh? Let's do it! Let's not let our feelings control us, but let's instead use this feelings, turning them towards productive personal growth instead of petty acts of violence! Let's by the change we're insecure and jealous about in the world!!

--Doreen Green (Earth-616)

Hey! Harvey Elder!! You and I, we're gonna have ourselves a little chat!

--Doreen Green (Earth-616)

Tippy, I've got some bad news: This is all a friggin' dream.

--Doreen Green (Earth-616)

Oh my gosh, you guys. You've made your point. Fine. I hereby acknowledge that there are other super heroes willing to keep everyone safe, and therefore, yes, we can take my mom up on her offer to have us come visit for a girl's only weekend.

You may be able to force animals to do things, Melissa, but that doesn't make you a leader. All that makes you is a bully. Real strength -- not just physical, but like, actual strength of character -- is to have all the power to bully someone and not use it. It's when you know that might doesn't make right, even when -- especially when -- you have all the might in the world. It's when you choose to be the bigger person.

All right, team! We're still trapped in a death maze (which we paid to enter, which is such a rip), but at least now we have the advantage of all knowing our perks and abilities. If we work together, no room can hold us. Ready, Justice Pals?!

You're hurt and scared, aren't you? I know how that feels. I think Morgan Le Fay tricked you because she feels that way too, and I'm going to help her if she'll let me.

--Doreen Green (Earth-616)

Sure, but someone recently told me change is the defining characteristic of life. And if embracing it unlocks a fuller, awesomer, more kick-butt life -- well then bring it on, baby.
