*Vibes grins*

Vibes: No worries, I'll give you the standup routine after I pummel your goons.

*they all fire at her*

*Vibes scowls*

Vibes: SHIELD MODE!

*She focus as she deflects the bubbles*

Vibes (thought): Hmm...something different about these bubbles...

*as she thinks this her shield is converted into a giant bubble*

*Vibes looks confused*

Vibes: Huh?

Dr Bubblebot: It astounds me that someone with all that power can be that naive.

Bubblebot: i've hunted you twice now. you think i don't ensure i have work arounds for your powers?

*Vibes laughs*

Vibes: Big deal. I'll figure this thing out...whatever it is...

*the bubble shrinks*

*Vibes struggles*

Vibes: NO!

*It pops, emerging as a capture suit*

Vibes: OK this is not a good look for me.

Vibes: well least i can kinda move now *struggles to swing a punch*

*Dr Bubblebot laughs*

Dr Bubblebot: Your modes won't help you now!

Vibes: challenge accepted. STRENGTH-

*Vibes groans*

Vibes: Ugh...come on...

*Vibes strains as she struggles*

Vibes (thought): Ugh...it's like I'm wading through treacle!

Bubblebot: take them back to base. best not leave them in the open.

*Fiona and Vibes are both grabbed*

Fiona: V...I'm sorry...

Vibes: Not...your...fault...

*the 2 are rolled back to silverfox labs*

Bubblebot: and now let's create a new airhead *holds up a syringe* i think this time a feline will be far more effective

*Vibes looks horrified*

Vibes: Oh no.

Fiona: What is he talking about V?

Vibes: He did that before on me. Turned me into this weird literal airhead!

Fiona: just another day at the peanut factory

*Vibes groans*

LATER...

*Van look at his watch impatiently*

Van (thought): Not like Vibes to be late for a cafe meetup.

Lilith: you sure?

Van: you aren't still-

Lilith: issues aren't solved in a day. this isn't a sitcom

*Van sighs*

Van: Right.

*They both look at each other awkwardly*

Van: I...I guess we should talk about...

Lilith: i mean if you don't think it's a big enough elephant yet it can wait.

Van: lil she is just a friend and you know it.

Lilith: mhm. to you yeah she is. but does SHE know that

*Van sighs*

Van: She's dealing with it, okay? Just like she's dealing with everything else.

Lilith: Why does it seem like everything comes back to her and her "big sis"?

Van: cause this was originally a series focusing on 3 characters and-

Lilith: what did i say about breaking the 4th wall!

Van: ok ok fine.

*Lilith groans*

Lilith: The point is, you can't keep being her babysitter.
