Alexei spun around, noticing Teleporto was back. Alexei let go of Melinda, going over to Teleporto.

"Apparently, Nerdlord here is a guardian assigned to us. He gave us a choice to ask for *their* help..." Alexei emphasized the word 'their', putting it clearly that he was disgusted with the lightning fag. "Or we fight this on our own. You know damn well that I would be willing to die before I ask for any of those faggots' help, but I can't risk the lives of this team. I can't risk your life, Heath." Alexei looked at Teleporto intently. "However, I do hope that Nerdlord here will make it clear that taking Mimic's head is our job; your job." Alexei spoke in a low tone. 

"We can't accomplish this on our own... We need a cure, first, and those fags have the cure... unfortunately." Alexei said, rolling his eyes.
