It was dark when she woke up and Ice felt better than she had earlier that day. It was about this time when she heard some shouting from the other room. As she opened the door half asleep, she was greeted with the image of Raven and Cap in what appeared to be a wrestling match. Raven had been grounded by Cap who was swearing and shouting something at Raven. What made this even more interesting was that Omega and Tech were watching the whole thing go on. It came to the point where it looked as if Cap was about to kill Raven Ice jumped in almost as if she was driven by instinct and ran over to the spectators.
“What the hell are they doing?!” Ice asked as she watched Cap get scratched across the face by the Ravens talons.
“Fighting”Omega said still watching the fight.
Upon closer inspection Ice saw that there were bruises and marks on their faces as if they had been at it for hours.
“How long have they been at it?” She asked as she started to worry about the two of them.
“About 2 hours.” Omega said as he finally broke his concentration to look at Ice.
“Actually..More like 1 hour 53 minute’s and 30 seconds” Tech said looking at them beat each other their fatigue showing.
“What about? Furthermore why haven’t you two stopped them yet!?” Ice asked starting to worry about the idiots fighting.
“We tried but they just wouldn’t listen to reason. Its like my mother used to say “If you dont listen to reason ya might as well beat each other so bad ya get all the anger out”. So we kinda just let it happen.” Omega said watching the fight.
“I for one think its a fight over who is the dominant male as they do in the animal kingdom. Of course its actual origin does not interest me and frankly unlike Omega I need to talk to these two idiots when they are done.” Tech said looking at the men and then pulling a small ball out of the drawer.
“What is that?” Omega asked as Tech pulled the pin out of the now clear grenade like sphere.
“It’s the solution to this problem. Now I would say something Cliche to make you feel more at ease but I dont want to take that pleasure away from you Omega.” Tech said as he threw the object at the fighting heroes.
In a flash the two men where electrocuted and subdued in what seemed like a steel rope. Both men began to struggle and scream at Tech as he got up and looked at the two men.
“Ice I will be here a while. Be a good girl and go and do some errands for us will you?” Tech said as he slapped the men behind their heads the same way a father would to his sons.
Thinking that this was the perfect opportunity to collect the chemicals she needed to keep her identity secret she agreed to go and police the area while making a stop off at Alice’s home.
Ice pulled up to Alices home and slowly got off her bike. The door swang open and an angry Alice stepped out of the house with a very ‘what the hell are you doing’ look on her face. Ice walked towards Alice and was waiting for anything Alice had to give to her. In the past when Mary had gotten into trouble Alice would respond in two way. The first being her caring sister approach. She would run over and hug Mary and tell her everything was going to be ok. After that she would make her some tea and they would talk about it and come to a solution together. Then there was the reaction that she was about to get. The angry nun approach. Alice stormed over to Mary and slapped her so hard that it would put a bus to shame. Mary hit the ground and looked up at her sister.
“What the hell is wrong with you?! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!” Alice said looking at Mary.
“Really? The judgmental bitch approach is the way you wanna do this?” Mary asked as she rubbed the side of her face.
“I am not apologizing to you for acting like a complete idiot and almost getting yourself killed” Alice barked looking at Mary.
“Nice to see you too.” Mary said as she got to her feet.
“Get your ass inside before I give it a well deserved beating.
