Midnightspectre2.0: grbbnnn... RM 552: Midnight? Midnightspectre 2.0 gradually stands.
RM552: Midnight! 
MdS 2.0: (looks around)...did we win? 
RM 552: No. A new group calling themselves the CSF--
MdS 2.0: say no more. i'll...i'll have to...what's wrong with me? the last thing i remember is grabbing ve-wait. plant toxin?
RM 552: Yep.
MdS 2.0: (raises an index finger) hold up a minute.
Midnightspectre 2.0 removes a vial from his glove and drinks it.
RM 552: Lemme guess...antitoxin?
MdS 2.0: along with some senzu bean extract. it should kick in right about...NOW.
RM 552: Good. Now blast the wolf that's fighting Hybrid and 'port us back to the city.
MdS 2.0:...Problem.
RM 552: Problem?
MdS 2.0: My powers...may be burned out. Flight, density alteration, and most of the other powers are done.
RM 552: Well, isn't that special. So what can you do?
MdS: 2.0: You mean other than uncanny observational capabilities? I'm still metahuman, with the enhnaced physical attributes to match. That, and I know Ninjitsu, Capoiera, Krav Maga, and several forms of Kung Fu.
RM 552:... So what can you do?
MdS 2.0: Keep a low profile and smack up whoever's weak points before they know I'm there. That, and I use deductive reasoning to piece together off-kilter but effective strategies.
MdS 2.0: Just so you know, we can establish telepathic links now.
RM552: I thought you said your powers were gone.
MdS 2.0: Most are, but some aren't. I'll explain later on the Talk Thread.
RM 552: Riiiiight.
RM 552: Change?
MdS 2.0: As in "Change Clothes and go." The Saiyan armor held up, but the black unitard beneath it got torn up...as usual.
Ten minutes later...
RM 552: Nice.
MdS 2.0: Yeah. Lightweight Adamantium mesh lining, among other things. Tell Hybrid and his buddy it's time to go.
RM 552: uh...that's not his buddy Midnight.
Mds 2.0: You were SERIOUS about them...nevermind! It's just a matter of lycanthropy.
RM 552.
MdS 2.0: Hybrid! Strike its vital organs and if it bites you, kill it!
Hybrid: You sure about this?
MdS 2.0: Trust me.
