An Ace in the wrong hand

Heroes: WHAT?!

Van: it's my fault....i should have let sal take the shot

*Sal sighs*

Sal: It's okay Van, it was a no-win situation. Barbecuing Vibes in that situation probably wouldn't have
     helped either.

Lilith: w-well you guys beat this mutation stuff before right?

*Sal nods*

Sal: We need to find a way to reverse it. In the meantime, we have to be on our guard.

G: but last time we did we still needed vibes.

*Sal groans*

Sal: Well, we need to figure out how to do this without her.

Van: anty i think you have the best shot at a cure

Anty: hm...i would need a sample of the mutagen.

Lilith: i'll go back to the spot she was tied down. maybe genesis is still there

*Sal nods*

Sal: I'll get a team to stop her from doing any damage.

Van: i'll go patrolling now. odds are they won't wait to make the first move

*They all head off*

Van: *is patrolling alone* come one....where are you vibes....

*He looks round nervously*

*as he rounds a corner he is knocked back by a slime tentacle*

Vibes: looking for someone?

*Vibes grins*

Vibes: We need to stop meeting like this.

Van: that's my line. *tries to punch vibes only for her to sidestep*

Vibes: Oh? you won't get far with some half hearted attacks you know.

*Vibes grins*

Vibes: I'm going to enjoy this.

Van: *tries to punch again but is countered by a knee*

Vibes: oh i felt a breeze from that one *snickers as she makes a stinger on her wrist*

*Van gulps*

Van: What the heck?

Vibes: oh i'm full of mutation surprises *stabs Van with the stinger*

Van: agh! *drops as his side begins to turn green*

Vibes: i'll be nice since you made this so easy for me and just make you a big pear boy *cackles*

*Vibes caresses Van's face*

Vibes: Yeah...you'll be the first...I don't think I'll go so easy on the others...

Van: v...vibes...fight it... *his body starts to swell up*

*Vibes laughs*

Vibes: You know what...I don't think I will.

Van: please! MUMPH! *is cut off as he swells faster, taking up the road*

*Vibes smiles*

Vibes: Sorry Van, but I have the others to take care of.

*she shoves him away and disappears*

Van: MUMPH!!!!
