The Price of Power

*They see footage of other heroes fighting tree minions throwing apples at them*

Sal: Oh crap.

Van: me and my big mouth

*Sal changes a channel to see the others fighting off the golems*

Sal: This is very bad.

Circe: well if you 2 are done watching the news

*Sal scowls*

Sal: YOU!

*Circe grins*

Circe: Time for some fun.

Circe: *snaps and a couch trips the 2 back and cuffs them in* now i think you 2 should check out our other channels

*Sal and Van try to move but can't*

Sal: Oh no.

*a marathon of sitcoms come on*

*Sal groans*

Sal: I want to look away...but I can't!

Van: i...i can't....stop staring....*tries to hold back laughter at the stupid jokes*

*Sal tries to hold back too, but then she starts to giggle.*

Circe: that's it you 2. become couch potatoes

*Sal snorts, bursting out laughing*

Van: *breaks out in laughter*

*Sal grins*

Sal: TV funny.

*the 2 foxes fail to notices as they grow a small gut*

Circe: *chuckles* couch potato batteries. i love the golden age

* Circe beams*

Circe: Now to bring in the others.

MEANWHILE...

*Vibes is in bed, slumped*

Vibes: Ugh.

Vibes: ok powers if we can just negotiate- *as if in response vibes's hips balloon up* .....you couldn't do this when i was date hunting

*Vibes frowns*

Vibes: Come on, this isn't funny. OK I get it, I need to be responsible, can I be a hero now?

AK: if you wanna be a hero, hero while impaired

*Vibes groans*

Vibes: Are you bloody kidding me? What the heck does this achieve?

AK Girl: Because perhaps you could prove to everyone you're not a goofster.

AK Girl: also if you make it past this you can prove you're worthy of this power

*Vibes sighs*

Vibes: Fine, I'll work on this!

AK Girl: that a girl

*Vibes focuses*

Vibes (thought): Just need to even the proportions a bit...

MEANWHILE...

*Guillermo is slammed down by a tree*

Guillermo: OOF!
