	Zac heard a thud coming from behind him when he had already retrieved his cell phone and pressed the “nine” and the “one” buttons.  When he turned around, he was relieved that all that noise was Victoria tipping the chair, in which he had tied her down with duct tape, as she tried to struggle her way out of her predicament.  Zac just rolled his eyes as she continued to flail in vain in order to free herself from the gray-colored tape.

	[color=F0E68C]“I think we might want to hold off on calling the police.”[/color]  Zac, turning his attention away from their unlikely prisoner back to Kelly and Sammy, quickly understood why his girlfriend made that suggestion.  What the heck would the police think when they show up and find the circus that they had at their apartment: a wasp-girl (although Kelly could technically hide it), a cat-girl, and a woman, who was dressed up like a sorceress, tied to a chair with duct tape.  Heck, even Zac was still in his “super hero” costume.

	As a result, Zac cleared his cell phone, which was one “one” away from calling the police to take away their little intruder.  [color=CD853F]“So, what are we going to do about all of this,”[/color] Zac motioned his arms in a circle to gesture all the wacky things that had taken place in that apartment.

	Kelly was the first to act.  She pulled off the power-nullifying band from her arm, since it was not activated at the time, and strapped it around Sammy’s wrist. [color=F0E68C] “It’s already public knowledge that I’m some kind of a weird human-insect hybrid.  I might as well be the odd man out.”[/color]  She then clicked the activation button on the wristband and stepped back, waiting for the band to turn on its effect.

	However, after a few seconds, Zac and Kelly knew something was wrong.  Even with the wristband activated, Sammy’s appearance did not revert back to normal; the few vestigial feline features that she had still remained.  In response, Kelly pulled the band off and slapped it back on her own wrist, hoping that something was wrong with the band.  Once the wristband was around Kelly’s arm, it immediately negated her powers, removing any trace of her wasp traits.

	[color=F0E68C]“This should be working.”[/color]  Kelly pulled off the wristband and examined the device.  Even though her compact eyes hindered her eyesight, from what she could tell, nothing seemed wrong with the power-nullifier.

	[color=CD853F]“Maybe these wristbands can only negate powers that originated from the same source that ours did.”[/color]  Zac pondered aloud, [color=CD853F]“We were ‘juiced up’ with that serum, while Sammy got transformed into a human-headed cat by some crazy magic.”[/color]

	“So…what’s plan B?”  Sammy asked as she twirled the end of her tail with her hand.

	[color=F0E68C]“Zac, keep a watch to our [i]fine guest[/i].  I’ll see what magic I can work.”[/color]  Kelly grasped Sammy’s wrist and dragged her into her bedroom, leading her on like a ragdoll.

	Once in her bedroom, Kelly ransacked her closet, looking for anything that could help hide Sammy’s feline attributes while the police takes Victoria away.  She first pulled out a toboggan cap, which could easily cover Sammy’s cat ears and hide where normal human ears would have been.  Kelly also found one of her t-shirts.  When she held it up to Sammy, Kelly saw that the shirt was too long for her friend.  However, besides the length, the shirt itself was not too large for Sammy.  Finding pants that would hide Sammy’s tail would be the difficult part.  Everything that she had would be too long for her friend.  Fortunately, Kelly found a pair of athletic shorts that would only look baggy on Sammy.

	When Kelly turned around, she saw Sammy pull a small, circular device off her own tail.  As Sammy pulled the device off her tail, it seemed like more fabric instantaneously devloped.  However, once the ring-shaped object had been removed from her tail, the previous observation must have been only an optical illusion since Sammy's costume did not look any different besides that her tail was contained inside her costume.  Kelly's jaw gaped open as she was puzzeled at what had just happened, glancing back and forth at both the small device and Sammy's costume.

	“Those guys who claimed to be Greek gods gave me this device.”  Sammy tried to clear up Kelly’s confusion.  “Apparently, it was developed to give snipers better protection while still being able to perform their job.  However, they never saw the light of day.  Funny what unintended applications can be found from stuff like this.”  Sammy gave her friend a small smile.

	[color=F0E68C]“Where the heck was that thing when I first was transformed into this wasp-human hybrid?”[/color]  Kelly’s lower set of arms rubbed the side of her wasp abdomen.  [color=F0E68C]“Without this power nullifier, anything that was not a dress was a pain in the butt to wear.  And no pun intended.”[/color]

	“Don’t worry.  They left some extras for you and Zac.  Wait, how do you get into your costume?”  Kelly proceeded to activating her wristband, which not only caused her powers to be negated, but also swapped out her superhero threads for civilian clothes.

	“Wow.  I bet any superhero would want that convenient trick!”  Both Kelly and Sammy cracked out into laughter at the idea that they were superheroes.

	A man in a trench coat and a fedora strolled down a dark alley.  Even though this neighborhood was one of the rougher parts of town, the man journeyed down the alley without a concern in the world.  A group of gang members saw the man, thinking him to be easy prey.  They began to stock his every step, but no matter how close they got to him, the man did to show any fear.

	“What’s in the briefcase, Doc?”  One of the hoodlums pulled a knife from his coat pocket.

	“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”  The man threatened.  The men who surrounded him broke out laughing, wondering how this one man could fend off several other men at once.  However, a chill of fear dissipated through the spines of those men when they heard a roar echoed through the night.  Out from the dark shadows of the alley, a giant man appeared.  However, when the men saw the newcomer’s face, they were paralyzed by fear when they realized that the man had a shark’s head instead of a normal human’s head.  Once this shark-man roared again, displaying his sharp teeth to the assailants, the men who thought that had stumbled upon easy prey scrambled, just like wounded animals with their tails between their legs.

	“Your aid was much appreciated, Jaws.”  Jaws gave the doctor a toothy grin.  However, Jaws picked up the scent of another person.  A woman.  The human shark repositioned himself in order to face this newcomer.

	“There is no need for that.  I have been expecting her.”

	A woman in a silver dress approached the doctor.  However, she held a second person in her hands, a young girl, probably just graduated from high school.

	“It is nice to meet you in person, Dr. Dorian Dipillan.”

	“And you too, Victoria, or should I call you by your other nickname, the Silver Sorceress?”

	“Either would work.”

	“And who’s our little guest?”  The girl was struggling in Victoria’s arms.

	“My younger sister.  I assume she would be perfect for you, well, experiments.  I can tell that they have been quite the success, haven’t they?”  Her sister even struggled more, in vain, once she heard Victoria talk about this “doctor” experimenting on her.  “I picked her up after I escaped from the police’s pitiful attempt to restrain me.  Quite laughable, if you asked me.”

	“I assume this means you will accept my invitation?”

	“What do you think?”  Victoria gave the man a coy smile, as if he was stating the obvious.
