Flying Squirrels

by Bronze Tempest

I am tired of being beat on by people who have been traumatized the same way I have been. I call out - in equal part agony and hope - for them to please switch sides and let's go beat up that omni drome TOGETHER! They were not impressed. Maybe there was too much desperation in my voice, and they chose not to take pity on me? Then I glimpse Poison Ivy - so sad that she had to come to my rescue. I decide to try one more time and call on the hatred all New Yorkers have and their love for the Jets. I tell them that that Omni Drone is actually a Patriot trying to sneak into Central Park - this time they buy it and start heading towards the drone which seems to be ice encased now. Then I hear that same voice in my ear again telling me how much help I was in getting the ooze modified and how glad he is that he had the opportunity to show me how he is even able to use the cast-offs. This guy seems to think he is so wonderful and yet he is just using people, stealing things from everyone since they are all smarter than him, and then claiming credit. Typical douche bag.
 
I scramble for an idea and then remember that hand clap thing the Hulk did when we were fighting earlier. I face NE and, with all of my strength, clap my hands and four drones fall to the ground - dead. Apparently, that is pretty effective and I need to remember that trick. I turn around and see that Donata is covered in some sort of radiant red and I start remembering the distinct colors of the crystal jade vine plant that were below and then I ask the group what color they would consider to be the opposite of the red and the consensus is green. I ask Poison Ivy - who is having way too much fun keeping the civilians contained - if she has any samples of the distinct colors with her. She says she does, but that she brought them with her to see if she could help me. She is just such a sweetheart!! But Donata is in pain, so I ask Poison Ivy to help Donata first - after all she has lots, and we can try to fix me later and she agrees. She pops over and puts a syringe of something into Donato - OOOPS! we forgot to tell Donata first about our experiment. While we are waiting to see the results, I get another message from my local fan boy. He tells me that I should enjoy the psychotropic effect. I am a bit confused, but then I see all of the various orange blobs on the ground everywhere start moving - towards me!
 
I do a flying spin kick to the largest drone since the little orange blobs are not really doing anything special. I connect solidly and it is destroyed with a satisfying crash. Then I land and turn around to see the orange blobs have combined into little mini–Bronze Tempests. Then suddenly they all launch themselves towards me and as they approach, they seem to be growing. That can't be right though - can it??????
