First there was the incident in Washington Park that left dozens of individuals transformed into metahumans. Then the Hounds of Humanity announced their intent on ridding the world of anyone who was not a regular human. They even went as far as tracking down the meeting place that he and Kelly had set up to run a support group for the people who just gained metahuman powers. After some of Doctor Diplodoc’s minions had defeated the Hounds who staged the attack on campus, Zac and the other metahumans who were attending the meeting made a run for it, just in case the Hounds had any other tricks up their sleeves. Kelly exchanged numbers with the Jeanette and Darren so that they could contact her and Zac if anything happened in the next 24 hours. Zac barely slept that night. While his identity was still a secret except to a few select heroes, Kelly’s status as a metahuman was public knowledge. For most of the night, he worried whether the Hounds would break into their apartment while they were unprepared. He was not sure whether that was on Kelly’s mind, but he did not mention it to her. Making her worry was the last thing Zac wanted to cause. Even when the sun began to peak through their bedroom windows, Zac still felt restless. He then rolled over onto his side, wrapping his arm around Kelly, who was still sound asleep beside him. But he immediately noticed something was amiss: her skin was no longer the pale-yellow color that it normally had because of her wasp-based powers. This should have been impossible, since Kelly’s power nullifier was ruined when they tested it on Taylor. Zac inched closer to his girlfriend to see if he could figure out what was going on. He did not see a power-nullifying band wrapped around her wrist. Her other wasplike characteristics were also absent: no wings, no wasp abdomen, no antennae. [color=khaki]“Morning,”[/color] Kelly said with a yawn, definitely aroused from her sleep by Zac moving closer to her in their bed. She turned to face Zac and threw her arms over his shoulders. However, she noticed that something was bothering him. [color=khaki]“What wrong? It doesn’t have to do with last night, does it?”[/color] [color=peru]“No, no,”[/color] Zac half-lied. He [b]was[/b] worried about the Hounds. However, what seemed to be Kelly strangely losing her powers was far more pertinent to him than any potential attack by the Hounds. [color=peru]“What happened to your powers?”[/color] [color=khaki]“What do you mean?”[/color] [color=peru]“How are you suppressing your wasplike appearance without one of these suppressors?”[/color] Zac held up his wrist, pointing to the wristband on his arm. [color=khaki]“I haven’t had those powers since Doctor Diplodoc kidnapped us and took us to West Virginia over three months ago.”[/color] Kelly reach out for an empty glass on the nightstand on her side of the bed and waved her hand over the rim. Then suddenly water spontaneously filled up the glass. Kelly snatched up the glass and took a sip. [color=peru]“Wait. How did you do that?”[/color] [color=khaki]“I swapped powers with [url= https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/2752980 ]Victoria[/url] back in West Virginia when we both fell into a batch of Diplodoc’s serum. You were there.”[/color] [color=peru]“[url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/965795]What?[/url] That was Aubrey and Black Widow.”[/color] [color=khaki]“Are you feeling alright?”[/color] Kelly pressed the back of her hand against her boyfriend’s forehead. But she did not feel a fever. [color=peru]“Ask Sammy. She’ll clear things up.”[/color] [color=khaki]“Yes, by proving me right.”[/color] Kelly gave her boyfriend a wink before jumping out of bed and grabbing her phone. She dialed Sammy’s cell phone multiple times, but she kept getting voice mail. [color=peru]“You don’t think the Hounds have…”[/color] “[color=khaki]“Of course not.”[/color] However, the tone in Kelly’s voice revealed that she was not certain about whether the Hound might have attacked their friend. Kelly waved her hands down her body. As her hands descended, her pajamas transformed into a dress that was almost identical to the one that the Silver Sorceress wore, except that Kelly’s was scarlet while Victoria’s was silver. She then offered her hand towards her boyfriend. [color=khaki]“Let’s check just in case. Suit up.”[/color] Zac pinched himself just to make sure he was not dreaming or imagining things. How did Kelly now have abilities like the Silver Sorceress? Was he going crazy? He then decided that question had to wait. They first needed to check if Sammy was alright. Once they make sure Sammy was safe, they can sort this out. After he deactivated his power nullifier and switched into his superhero threads, Zac took his girlfriend’s friend. The two metahumans then were teleported out of their apartment by Kelly’s powers, leaving their home empty.
