Don't Meddle With My Daughter/Funny

"Clara: "What are you giggling about?""
 * At one point Clara and Athena are watching TV and there's a program on that talks about 8th Wonder. On it, a man is presenting his theory that there are actually two 8th Wonders (correct) and the 8th Wonder came from an island in the sky (also true but Clara doesn't know that). The proof? The man had photos of the original 8th Wonder from 20 years ago, and the "new" one. While they both looked similar, the way to tell they were different people was that the "old" 8th Wonder had bigger boobs than the "new" one. The funniest part is that Clara hears this and gets visibly pissed off, and Athena is standing behind her gleefully blushing and snickering.

"Athena: "Oh. N-nothing." (Continues giggling quietly.)"


 * One day there's a contest for 8th Wonder lookalikes, and Clara decides to show up and enter. She laughs to herself thinking she's a sure-win since she's the actual 8th Wonder. Athena also shows up at the contest, and while she wasn't actually there for the contest, she winds up winning it. According to the judges, it wasn't because she looked like 8th Wonder per say, so much as she seemingly embodied what being 8th Wonder was all about, in that . In the end, Clara is left complaining the she should've won because she IS the real 8th Wonder, and Athena is embarrassed, because she won (again, NOT because she looked like 8th Wonder), even though SHE is THE real 8th Wonder.
 * This gets funnier when you remember, technically, both are the REAL one, just one is the SUCCESSOR to the original, only one should have been retired.
 * At one point, Clara winds up falling under the control of a micro-machine insect from a super villain named Puppet Master. She ends up going on a rampage and Athena is forced to fight her. During combat they end up causing lots of damage to NUDE headquarters, and despite every attempt to talk her down, Athena has no luck. Clara even picks up a stack of missiles and chucks them at Athena, they blow up and burn her clothes. We then see Athena emerge from the fire, and she looks PISSED. Like she just found out her daughter skipped school to go swimming, got brainwashed for being where she shouldn't have been, lied about it, and just threw something at her mother, ruining her outfit (literally ALL of that had just happened).
 * What's even funnier? How Athena stops Clara. She manages to pin her over her knee and proceeds to spank her repeatedly. Keep in mind both of them are super heroes with super strength AND bodies capable of withstanding bullets, but when Athena is done with her... Clara's ass is SO red and sore, that she has trouble sitting down for days.
 * Perhaps just as funny as that is the bullsh-t excuse Clara gives her mother (and that her mother HAD to accept it, lest she reveal that she knew about Clara being a hero AND she herself being the original 8th Wonder.) The excuse? She was skipping class to go play at the pool (which was true), "tripped, and fell on her butt".
 * What doubles as one of the most critical events of the story also has a pretty funny moment: ... And then she finally realizes what she had done....
 * Then comes the cherry atop the cake:.
 * The first encounter between Clara and since ! Unfortunately, Clara . (All this happens while Athena facepalms in the background.)
 * Sort of an epilogue-esque detail, but apparently !
 * Bonus points for the unfortunate fact that.
 * Also worth mentioning is that . In fact, by the end of the first 3 volumes, Athena was.
 * A somewhat meta and Hilarious in Hindsight sort of deal is that the main 3 volumes are about Athena doing everything to protect and support Clara (secret mentoring, protecting her from being raped or being exposed to sex, etc). In a funny bit of irony, the first thing to come out taking place AFTER the 3 volumes is the Amazing 8th Wonder, which amounts to the events leading up to Clara losing her virginity . The good news is that at least it was consensual.
