The Power Couple

*A reporter comes on TV*

Reporter: The Kirbydikto Gem is being exhibited at Reynard City museum tonight. The gem
has been said to house mystical energy and has attracted visitors from the world
over...

*Carmy grins*

Carmy: I want this job.

Chief: Sorry Carmy we can't just keep giving you the big assignments. Besides you
have a tendency to attract...weirdness.

Carmy: Look I'll make sure AK Girl and the rest of them are nowhere near this. We
can solve this.

Chief: I'm going to hold you to that.

LATER...

*Vibes speeds toward the museum. Carmy looks down at her arms folded*

Carmy: No.

Vibes: What do you mean "No"? This is my job.

Carmy: No this is my job and we don't need any more supervillains coming
because you make a big show of yourself.

Vibes: What if I...?

Carmy: No. I can do this myself without superpowers or magic or...Just keep out of my way.

Vibes (mimes handbag): Ooh!

*Carmy glares*

Vibes: Fine. Have it your way.

Van: you syre carm?

*Vibes grabs Van*

Vibes (aside): We'd better let her. She's a bit vulnerable at the moment but doesn't want
people to know it.

Van: But you heard what they said about it.

Vibes: I know. But if we get lucky her "friend" will be on the lookout for it too.

Van: ok then.......

MEANWHILE...

*Murray raises an eyebrow*

Murray: I don't think this is a good idea, Sly.

Sly: Come on Murray. One more big score then I can retire.

Murray: What would you do then?

Sly: Well I figure our local superhero team could use my services.

Bentley: But what about the power of the gem?

Sly: Well...that could be a fab little bonus!

Bentley:.....oh fine

LATER...

*Carmy sits patiently looking across at the gem*

Carmy: Come on...I know somebody is going to be after this.

Sly: *drops in behind Carmy*

*Carmy turns round and points her shock pistol at Sly's head*

Carmy: I knew it would be you.

Sly: We have to stop meeting like this.

Carmy: Leave. Now.

Sly: now where' the fun in that?

*Sly slips away from Carmy*

Sly: Come on Carmy you know you've missed this.

*She smiles for a second, then slips back in character*

Carmy: You are pushing it Sly!

*Sly dodges her shock pistol*

Sly: Come on Carmy you can do better than that!

Sly: *dashes up to the jewel*

*Carmy chases after Sly*

Carmy: Don't touch that!

Sly: why? *grabs it*

*Carmy then grabs it as well*

Carmy: You're not going to ruin this for me...you...you...

*Both Carmy and Sly start to glow*

Carmy and Sly: What the...?

Van: oh crap

*Sly and Carmy's bodies become enormously muscular*

Sly: W..We're changing.

Carmy: So...much...power!

*Sly and Carmy are dressed in superhero costumes with S and C badges*

Carmy: Oh no.

Sly: this may not end well

*Carmy scowls*

Carmy: We've got to find Dr Anty and get ourselves back to normal. In the meantime
we can't let anyone get to the g...

*She looks and sees the gem is gone*

Sly: Where's the gem?

*Carmy sees their bodies are glowing red*

Carmy: The gem...it...it's fused with us!

Sly: whoa

*Carmy is horrified*

Carmy: We...we have to get back to Dr Anty.

*Sly grins as he fires a blast from his hands*

Sly: We can...But we could have a bit of fun first.

Carmy: Sly!

Sly: Come on Carmy. Why should Vibes and those guys have the monopoly
on superpower? You deserve a break.


MEANWHILE...

*Vibes clutches her head*

Van: Vibes?

Vibes: My head hurts.

Van: need an ice pack?

*Vibes nods*

Vibes: Yeah. This one is a doozy!

*walks off* you getting any bad thoughts V?

*Vibes nods*

Vibes: It's worse that that. There's no vision. Just a weird glow.

*She yawns*

Vibes: It's getting late. We'd better go home.
