Alexei grumbled; his mind thinking of over a million ways to flay this guy. The only thing preventing him from lashing out at Sparkles was Melinda's voice, and touch. "I'd like to get this over with, Nerdlord." Alexei nodded at Mild before turning to Sparkles. "Listen Sparkles, while you're off going greek on your boy toys, our team is getting the buttload of a villain... A villain who's supposed to be IN YOUR team's care; not ours." Alexei growled. "Code name, Mimic. An anthropomorphic serpentine entity. Starts out as a parasitic visage; probably going the same way as ascaris or loa-loa. That's not all. Probably code red is Mimic's power. The ability to copy anyone it encounters... and what's worse? It can copy the target's powers as well... and upgrade it. Doesn't seem like Nevada material now, does it?" Alexei laid out the details. 

"I'll be frank with you, Sparkles. Our whole team is infected with mini Mimics. We need a cure..." Alexei stared intently at Sparkles. "Most importantly, THEY need a cure." the lad pointed to his team. "If we allow these serpents to propagate, they can copy even Superman's powers... multiply that by five, and you've got an apocalypse. Furthermore, the Mimic we encountered mentioned a 'Daddy'. We can only imagine that the Mimics are already numerous." Alexei added.

"Besides, Sparkles, if we don't stop these infestations here in Nevada... there'll be no telling how far they are from infecting your team."
