Mr. M checked the jacket and cuffs of the tuxedo for the eighth time in as many minutes, trying to avoid eye contact with anyone if he could help it. Normally when he was in crowds, he had a disguise on or was keeping himself from being noticed. “Hard to do when I'm surrounded by such colorful costumes.” M thought to himself.

White Owl had requested that M give her away at her wedding, and M agreed. Still, he was feeling out of place and getting ready to find a place to duck into until the wedding started when a soft, melodic voice spoke up behind him. “You must be the well-dressed man here to give the bride away.”

There were very few times in M's life that he was speechless. He had seen and been with many beautiful women, but Ultra Woman was in a class by herself. M couldn't help but be taken by her amazonian power and beauty. “You must be Ultra Woman...”

Ultra Woman smiled and held out her hand. “Yes, and you must be Mr. M.” They shook hands and Ultra Woman continued. “After hearing about you from White Owl so much, I'm glad to have finally met you.”

M returned the handshake and smiled. “Thank you, a pleasure meeting you also.” He softly kissed the top of her hand before releasing the handshake. “Feeling a bit out of place here to be quite honest. All these powerful beings, and my past.”

Ultra Woman put a hand on his shoulder. “Ath...White Owl told me about Bone Lord and what happened to her.” M flinched slightly as Ultra Woman continued. “You went to rescue her and atone for your actions.”

M lowered his head, almost feeling guilty. “I wanted to show her I could be a hero. I wanted to truly become something other than what my past has defined me as.”

Ultra Woman took M's hands and squeezed them, smiling. “You have, accepting the mantle of defending against mystic threats in Queen City. Helping others, it shows you have a noble heart, no matter what you did before.”

M looked into the blue eyes of the amazon, glad to have met her at the wedding. “Thank you.” M said softly.

Ultra Woman smiled and slipped her arm into M's. “Okay, so let's get to the back and make sure everything is ready. Not everyday I get to be escorted by such a sharp-dressed man.”
