Metro, mass murderers, and we?

by Scarlet Sprite

New York City circa 2072. Nighttime. Feels like a Thursday?
 
Just like that The Sprite starts with the magical mystery tour. I can't see my legs or anything else. Takes a minute to learn to walk again. That crazy walking Ginsu knife set Honey Badger even passes us by. Dammit. But... On the other hand she didn't see us. No reason to clue her in on our whereabouts? For all we know she'll cut us in two. Get the pun?
 
Luckily, we regroup in time to catch a glimpse of what's his disappearing acts name? Who-Deany? Bad puns come it pairs it seems? We can just follow him a little longer. Maybe, he knows more than we do? Irea has to have some idea of what this Doc character's organization is doing? Better not lose sight of he is my target too! Irea are bullies who withhold energy from people who need it too live. Regardless of his background. He is part of the problem. Making him our problem. We don't like problems.
 
Wait wut? I'm mouthing some crazy voices and hearing it ten feet away. Smiling. Beg evil grin smiling. Okay! My Sprites been doing some homework while I was adding some weaponry to Dragon. This is the the first day of the rest of our lives. Stalking and talking by Scarlet and The Sprite.
 
All this is wearing us out. Need a breather. Down onto the tracks we go. If someone sees us? It's going down on the tracks! Curled up. Head down. Back against the side of the metro platform. We take a few seconds to get a second wind. Which does wonders for us. And....boom. Second times a charm! Can't see our legs. Head not dizzy. Lets see what's happening with the world of where in the world is Doc. Oh. Those two thickheaded twatlips know him as Rollie. Scarlet Sprite knows alteration now too! Really gaining intelligence at a new level now.
 
Great. My energy rebel teammate Honey Badger turns to attack some hairy growley guy. How to turn that into a positive? Staring at it. All its glory. Nothing more than an insane chemically fueled buzzsaw of a meat grinder. Not the music and monkey one either. Her intent is exactly how she appears. We're torn on trying to help her, or that girl? Who electric boyo incapacitated in a flash of brilliant sparks. Asking her where Rollie is under the threat of being electrocuted. He is about as intimidating as a caged bunny feeding on greens. Unfortunately, he has power. Real power! We can't underestimate. Who is the girl? Why does she deserve help? What can be done to help her? Where is Rollie? How do we get out of this entanglement and back to hunting for him? Going to have to think of something.
 
Sooner than later. ~ Scarlet and the Sprite!
