"I really hate it when this happens. Reruns. Reruns on every friggin channel." Supersonic said to himself as he flipped from various Saturday morning cartoons. Though that wasn't what was really bugging him. Ever since what happened two nights ago, he'd had no contact with Harm, Wonder Girl or Shinigami. And Harm stayed at the Tower for the most part because he had no secret identidy. He'd been wondering if they'd been able to patch things up like he'd more or less been able to do with Duo.

"Oh what the hell, I know for a fact Will's been able to pull it off, who needs shadowporting when you've got super speed." Convincing himself, Marx took off flying leaving a blur behind him as he made his way to the Elias School. "Don't even know why they make it an all girls school, it's practically an invitation for us to sneak in, especially those of us with super powers." He said smirking at himself as he stopped next to Duo's window, which he remembered going to the same night everything seemed to fall apart.

Supersonic was about to tap on the window when he saw girls coming out the building from below him. "Ok, so maybe shadowporting would come in handy right now." But when the girls looked up, they still saw nothing as Supersonic had already gotten to the roof. Moving too fast for any of the girls to see Marx actually ran in from one of the open windows and found his way to Cassie and Duo's door. He then heard giggling coming from the other side of the hallway. Super groaned a little as he thought to himself. 'It's Saturday people don't you have anywhere better to be?' He then got an idea as he quickly wrote a note and slipped it in the door after knocking on it at superspeed. The note reading:

"What's up Duo? Just wanted to make sure you were doing ok. I'm on the roof. Sure it would have been easier to just knock on your window, but everyone does that. I wanted to be different, though I guess I'm pretty different usually. Or maybe I'm normal and everyone else is different, or maybe...sorry I'm babbling while I write...didn't even realize I did that...

Marxy (ok that name's starting to grow on me, not sure if that's a good thing...)"

Duo, Cissie, Greta and Traya were all crashed out on the floor of the room having dragged the mattresses, covers, pillows and whatnot onto the floor just to make one big bed for them all. The room was in a little bit of a state, discarded ice-cream tubs and sweet wrappers everywhere.

The sound of quick rapping on the door woke Duo from her peaceful slumber and she woke feeling refreshed and happy. She stretched fully, her arms above her head as she uncurled her spine feeling it crack in places, even jerking her head to one side then the other and receiving a satisfying series of clicks that elevated the stiffness.

She glanced around at the other three and almost burst out laughing at the sight of a half-eaten chocolate donut amidst Cissie's hair! <She's not going to be happy about that! >

Duo stood quickly and carefully made her way over the mind field of limbs and sticky chocolates to the door. Brushing aside an empty fizzy drinks bottle with her foot she opened the door...only to see no one there.

"Ookkay!" Duo said aloud, rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she turned swiftly on her heel and almost slid on the note that Supersonic had left under her door. She refrained from cursing aloud as she bent to retrieve the letter, gently shutting door behind her as she read the note.

A faint smile developed on her lips as she read the ramblings of Marxy. She quickly ran to her closet, jumping over Traya and grabbed some clean clothes, she as dressed in second and looking at the sleeping forms of her friends, grabbed a sheet of paper and a en and left them a note saying she had gone out and not to worry.

She walked along the hallway, nodding at various students, even smiling on occasion, for which she received a lot of whispers behind her back for the change in her usual icy disdainful glares. She made her way up the stairs, heading for the roof. Technically students weren't allowed on the roof, but she didn't care if she got in trouble. She was feeling good, and by the looks of things, Marxy really didn't hate her!

She scanned the roof and saw him off to the side..."MARXY!!!" She yelled, waving at him.

As Supersonic heard his nickname called he looked back to see...well...it looked like Duo. But whoever it was had a really happy look on her face, while Duo did give the occasional smile it wasn't like that. Marx smirked as he cocked his head to the side, he was actually glad she seemed to be happy, something must have happened. "Hi, I'm actually supposed to be meeting Duo up here. You kinda remind me of her, but she's more broody." You could tell Marx was smiling even though it was hidden under the hood, Super then flipped himself upside down and began hovering around the roof. "I'm just playin with ya. But you know it's unfair. See I can't add a 'y' to your name...either of em. 'Duoey' just doesn't sound right and Shinigami-y sounds even worst and 'Merquisey' sounds like some kinda cheese. You planned that ahead didn't ya?"

Supersonic then did a series of midair flips before landing on the edge of the roof and sitting down. "It's really hopping around here today. Hope I didn't wake you, thought you might want to...y'know, hang out or something." As Marx talked he used his electric powers to basically make little doodles of electricity in the air. Even he was a little suprised by how little he held Shinigami killing him against her, but as far as he saw it, that wasn't the real her, the real her was the one who helped to bring him back. Though the one thing that nagged him a little was that Duo's death haunted him but his own death didn't bother him in the slightest. He didn't mind dying, he minded that while he was dead he couldn't help Duo, that his death would bring sadness to those he considered his friends, but not for the actual death itself.

Snapping himself out of his pondering, he continued with what he was saying before. "Like go to a movie or something. Play a couple pranks...though you never did learn the ultimate wedgie technique did you?" Supersonic playfully taunted, before returning back to his upside down floating, but this time he hovered around Duo as he talked. "You'd have to, y'know, beat me to get that." He then looked at his fingers before looking back at Duo. "And we know that ain't gonna happen..." He said letting his ego over the first victory be known.

Hope I didn't wake you, thought you might want to...y'know, hang out or something. Like go to a movie or something. Play a couple pranks...though you never did learn the ultimate wedgie technique did you?"

Duo watched him hang upside down in mid-air, writing messages and doodles in the sky with his electricity as he rambled almost incoherently. Her smile only widened, she couldn't see to help it, she hadn't felt this good in ages, it didn't seem to be a crime to smile anymore...her smiles didn't have to be laced with a sinister tinge.

"You'd have to, y'know, beat me to get that. And we know that ain't gonna happen..."

"That's what you think!" Duo exclaimed, pointing a finger at Marxy's face. "You still owe me a rematch and I am going to beat you easy! I let you win last time!" Duo said attempting to justify her loss.

"And yes you woke me up...but then again, I hadn't been asleep for long!" She said with a knowing smile as she recalled the night of movies, food and pillow fights. "I'd love to hang out though...but of course...pranks are going to have to be missed unless you're willing to show me the wedgie technique...or am I seriously going to have to beat your butt down for you to divulge the secret!?" she asked with a chuckle.

"You still owe me a rematch and I am going to beat you easy! I let you win last time!"

Supersonic couldn't help but to laugh. "Sh'yeah right! I beat you senseless with your own weapon." Marx said sticking out his tongue. "The only excuse you have is that you weren't in your body. Which you don't have now."

"...or am I seriously going to have to beat your butt down for you to divulge the secret!?" she asked with a chuckle.

Supersonic pointed inside his hood to his nose to show that she got it 'right on the nose'. "So I guess the only way we're going to settle this once in for all is to actually have the spar. You are awake now right? I don't want you using that as an excuse." The way Marx saw it, if she lost the spar he had ultimate gloating rights and if she won, they'd terrorize people with wedgies. Sounds like a win/win situation.

Then without warning Supersonic picked up Duo and flew at blinding speed back to Titans Tower, partially showing off his speed, that she would have to deal with. When he finally stopped and let Duo back down they were already in the training area they had sparred in before. "Don't think I'm going to hold back simply because I want to teach you the technique." The speedster taunted as he cracked his knuckles, purely for show since his hands can shapeshift.

Before Duo had a chance to respond to Marxy's proposal of actually having a spar she was hoisted into his arms and carried away at Super speed, they stopped in the training area where they had had their first spar. Supersonic placed her down and it took her a couple of seconds to get her bearings!

"I can fly myself you know!" Duo said. Flicking her tousled braid over her shoulder. Although she was secretly glad that she hadn't had to...and she was vainly hoping that she would be able to fight, perhaps even beat Supersonic without calling upon her wings. For a certain little boy named Kelsey had, perhaps by accident...but she put nothing pass the baby..., had dyed her wings pink...and she knew that is Supersonic saw them then she would never live down his taunting!

"Don't think I'm going to hold back simply because I want to teach you the technique."

Duo smirked, her expression taking on a sinister look as she braced herself in a fighting stance; her eyes flickered with a violet haze as she felt the new, raw energy Vittorio's essence had endowed her with. She felt the added physical strength the energy gave her and she outstretched her hand and her scythe instantly appeared, and she twirled it expertly between her fingers. Marxy had done well wielding the scythe when the titans’ bodies had been switched, but she was its true holder...

"Prepare to lose!" She said confidently

"Oh believe me I will, but the question is are you prepared to lose?" Supersonic taunted before he put his hands together bowing martial arts style. Though this stance was partially a distraction as morphed his hands into multiple whips keeping in the same pose. The whips then dashed towards Duo, each one snapping at her, barely missing. "WOO! RAWHIDE!" Supersonic yelled in a country accent, as the whips continued to snap at Shinigami. As Marx saw the deturmination on Duo's face, he smiled, it was interesting to see the same expression he saw on Risk's face on it's rightful owner, he was also very interested to see how Duo could use the scythe since it was hers.

Duo watched intently as Super bowed low, only to have the air cracked about her as multiple whips slashed at the surrounding air, missing her by inches. The smirk hardened, even as Marxy's excited "WOO! RAWHIDE!" echoed in her ears. He may take this as a bit of fun...but truth be told she had been angry with herself at loosing last time...and having fallen so easily to Vittorio...she was beginning to fear that she was loosing her touch.

Her eyes flickered back and forth as she tried to keep all of the whips in her line of sight. She continued to twirl her scythe infront of her, forming a barrier between her and the whips, even parrying a few of the strikes.

Suddenly she lashed out with the end of her scythe, connecting hard with one of the failing whips, she curled the motion so it wrapped the whip around the end of the scythe. She yanked the end of the scythe towards her in a downward motion, dragging Marxy forward and off balance. "You're going to eat your words Marxy!" She said as she breached the gap with a forward snap kick

After seeing the barrier Duo made with the scythe, Marx wondered to himself. 'Why didn't I think of that?'

"You're going to eat your words Marxy!"

Supersonic was then taken off guard as the whips were used against him and he was met with a kick to his face, throwing him almost to the ground but he used his flight to steady himself. This was one thing that he was trying to avoid. If he let this match lead to hand to hand combat he wouldn't fare as well as he found out in the first spar. He had to keep using his other powers to keep her off balance. Luckily with his morphing ability that gave him infinite options to try that. Suddenly all of the whips were taken back into Super's arms as they shifted shape once more. This time making them into a lightsaber of sorts enhanced with his electric powers. As the two weapons colided Supersonic used this as an opportunity to give Duo and electical shock, though he had to admit it wasn't an emensely powerful one, it was made purely to catch her off guard. Marx then hopped back preparing to launch the next attack.

A mild electric current flowed through her and she acted as the earth wire, receiving an electric shock that caught her off guard. It was over almost as soon as it had begun and she shook her head swiftly to clear the lights that were currently spayed across her vision. She saw a few strands of hair that had come loose from her braid; they were exceptionally frizzy from the electricity. <As if my hair isn't wavy enough from being in a plat! > She thought with a groan. <God! I'm beginning to sound like Cissie! > That thought was the most disturbing.

Her eyes watched Marxy intently; he was keeping a large distance between them. She had always lacked the advantage when it came to long distance fighting, but now she felt the rouge energy pulsating through her, begging to be released, to form into spears and knives that could be used from afar. But she curbed that impulse. Super didn't know that she had retained that power after killing Vittorio...no one knew the ins and outs of how that night had ended. And even though her eyes were tainted violet she refused to use her new ability. She had killed him with the red claws...she didn't want to have to use them unless it became necessary.

She needed to initiate more hand-to-hand combat...but she was at a disadvantage in her current state...

She decided to take a chance. She began to call upon her wings...knowing that she was letting herself in for weeks of torment, she hoped that the surprise of them would stun Marxy enough for her to cover ground and strike him down...so out came her wings...

Her less then white wings...

Her bright PINK wings!

Supersonic had started to meld his hands into the floor so he'd be able to catch Duo by suprise again. He had it all planned, he's just morph his hands around various parts of the room and keep attacking her from anywhere around the room. But then Marx saw them. The bright pink wings. Everything froze as he took in what he was seeing. He was trying his best to maintain his composure, but his immaturity was starting to get the better of him as the snicker started to come from his mouth. 'She did that to distract you! Focus! Focus!' Supersonic mentally yelled at himself, but not being able to take his own advice, he bent over laughing. "I...thought...you....hated...pink..." Super had been able to get out through the intense laughter. He then tried a pitiful attempt at an attack by turning his hands into steel and stretching them to Duo in hopes of knocking her back, but his laughter made his aim horrible.

Duo dodged the steel hands coming towards her with ease. She flapped her wings and covered the distance between her and Supersonic instantly. She used the heated thermal scythe and brought it close to his face, enough for the heat to sting the flesh without causing damage and the blinding light to stun the eyes.

She struck him hard around the face with the end of the scythe and then vaulted over him. His vision still blurred she grabbed her braid and looped it around his neck from behind. Pinning him to her as she strangled him.

"What's the matter Marxy, got nothing to say?" She taunted.

Supersonic slowly started to get his vision back. "Um, I dunno. You look really cute in pink?" Marx choked out as he forward flipped and landed hard on his back though technically he had Duo still on him to cushion the fall. The then warped his head so he could slip out of the braid. "You know, I probably could have just cut off the braid, but I kinda like that whole 'me breathing' thing." He cracked, rubbing the part of his face the scythe had struck, though the pain had been able to stop him from laughing...well outwardly laughing.

Marx then smirked to himself, he'd actually been bored this morning, but that was far from the case now. Supersonic then began to used his speed as he literally ran circles around Duo creating a small tornado with her in the middle. "Can't use the wings if you can't control the wind." Though he wasn't quite sure Duo could hear him through the wind from the mini tornado. Then rebounding off the wall Supersonic kicked Duo out of the tornado, adding to the kick with a small electric charge. He was tempted to say 'You're gonna get a kick out of this.' but thought that might actually be too corny for him, and that's saying something.

The wind whipped about her and her wings were torn from side to side as she tried to flap them to escape the tornado that consumed her.
Suddenly she was kicked from the side. a mild burst of electricity accompanying the motion as she went flying from the tornado.

She hit the ground hard, her vision blurring for a few seconds as she tried to gather her thoughts. <Right...that's it! Enough of the nicetices!> She thought as she released the red pulsating energy, she rose from the ground as the red energy spears took shape about her, different sizes and lengths and they psun tightly around her, whipping up the wind themselves, her braid floating int he air from the air resistance.

"Look familiar?" she asked sweetly, her eyes shone fully violet and she cried out a battle roar, releasing the stream of spears, all aimed at Marxy...

Supersonic's eyes went wide as he saw the spears. Not from the fear that they were used to kill him, but for her to use them, he must have royally pissed her off. "Yeah, they look a little familiar." With that he began dodging the spears, though two of them grazed his shoulder cutting the hoodie. "Heeeey! I like that hoodie! It's on now!" Though he was so busy talking that he missed dodging the last spear as it lodged into his wrist. Marx grunted as he fell on one knee, though luckily the spear went into one of his morphing parts. He was simply able to stretch the hole the spear made and let it fall through. "Lucky shot."

Getting up Supersonic took off the hoodie, for the second time showing what was under the hood. Under the hoodie he was wearing a black t-shirt and had his face morphed into how it looked before he got his powers, the only thing standing out was his brightly glowing red eyes. Marx realized that with the spears, he no longer had the long range advantage, so he might as well get in close and hope for the best. He then took off into Duo's direction using his maximum speed, as soon as he reached her, leaping into the air sending another electric jolt down on her, though this one was much more powerful, but not nearly enough to do any serious damage. He then began flying at super speed over various parts of the room, hoping the shock would have messed up Duo's aim.

Duo saw Super's red eyes flash as the electricity coursed through her. She cried out in pain, and even more so in frustration when the blast ceased...her vision was a cascade of dots, blurring her sight. They were quickly dispersing but at that second she was openly vulnerable.

<Dammit! He's going to beat me again! > She though, cursing under her breath she summoned another horde of spears and sent them flying in all directions, knowing that there was little hope of her hitting the speedster.

She felt the energy pent up within her fingers and she let it slither out, flowing to form red knives at the ends of her fingers. She was praying that the sight of the knifed hands that had contributed to his death would prevent him form getting too close, the last thing she needed was a full frontal attack when her vision alluded her. <But he didn't seem to put off by the spears...> she thought unhappily.

As Supersonic was randomly moving through the room he saw Duo fire off the spears in multiple directions, but they were way off. Looking into Shin's face his eyes widened as he realized that she couldn't see, if that wasn't an opening he didn't know what was. Using his speed to his advantage once more, he charged at Duo. "I'm comin for ya." He said in a low voice under his breath, before he froze slightly seeing the knived fingers, he knew that she wouldn't kill him again, but considering she couldn't see, there could always be an accident...and plus he liked his black shirt too.

Resuming his attack he collided with Duo, pinning her hands to the floor so she couldn't get him with the finger. "Gotcha!" Supersonic said with a smile. "Awww, guess you won't be learning the wedgie technique afterall."

Duo was hit hard from the side and she fell to the ground with a weight on top of her. She felt her hands becoming pinned and her with her vision swiftly returning she could make out the smug face of Super above her.

"Gotcha! Awww, guess you won't be learning the wedgie technique afterall."

She tried to struggle but found that with her hands pinned and the weight of Marxy on top of her she couldn't move, and his teasing words only sort to annoy her more.

She desperately searched for a way out, her now clear vision scanning the room as she scanned her mind...she recalled their previous spar where she had had Super in a similar position...and she remembered the crude comment he had used in order to get out of it...a small smirk formed on her face.

<Well...if you can't beat them...> she though as she looked up at Marxy, pouting slightly and fluttering her eyelashes as she had seen Cissie do on numerous occasions she said. "Honestly Marxy, first you're in me and now you're on me, I didn't know you LIKED me so much!" She whispered in a husky voice.

Before Super had enough time for the shocked expression to fully consume his features she twisted sharply, tipping him off of her. She rolled with the motion so that it was her pinning him to the floor, her knifed fingers at his throat, so close that even if he moved with super speed there would be no way to avoid being sliced.

"Yield or die!"

"Honestly Marxy, first you're in me and now you're on me, I didn't know you LIKED me so much!"

'She did not just say that.' Supersonic thought, but before he could even get completely shocked by the statement he was in the reverse position with Duo's claws at his neck.

"Yield or die!"

"I yeild I yeild." Super said, his statement partially covered in laughter. His face, now visible without the hood was still in a state of being between total shock and the look you have on your face when you're laughing your butt off. "Ok, we're even now, but that was loooow. I am soo corrupting you! But you did win, so you do get to learn the great secret of the ultimate wedgie."

Marx went to slip his hoodie back on, though he left his hood off and morphed shades around his eyes. He had to admit though, he was still slightly shocked by the crudeness of Duo's remark, but he knew if he'd have thought about it first he totally would have said it.

"I yield I yield."

Duo smiled happily as she rolled off of Marxy to a standing position, she retracted her wings into her back, not wanting to display the bright pinkness any more then was necessary.

"Ok, we're even now, but that was loooow. I am soo corrupting you! But you did win, so you do get to learn the great secret of the ultimate wedgie."

Duo smiled proudly at Marxy's approval of how she had won, and the smile only broadened when he said he would teach her the wedgie technique. She couldn't help it, Marxy was so laid back she couldn't help but be a little corrupted by his good nature. Plus the look on his face had been absolutely priceless!

"Corrupting me huh?" She said with a smile, "you're just trying to steal the credit from MY victory!" She said jokingly.

Marx laughed. "Oh no the credit's all yours. If I'd have been able to think of a reply to that I totally would have. I bow to your crudeness." He said still laughing as he bowed. Super then rubbed his hands together. "Now for the wedgie..." He then put one arm around Duo's shoulder. "What most people don't realize is that there are two steps to a perfect wedgie...First, say we're standing like we are now. Most people would wedgie with the hand closest to the person. But no! You use the hand away from the person and grab from the inside...like so!" Before Duo could protest Supersonic displayed at normal speed on her the first step if the ultimate wedgie.

"See? Much worst that way" He said an evil smirk on his face, leaving the wedgie in it's 'up' position. "The second step is to make sure that when you let go..." He started as he pulled up and quickly let go to hear the snap. "...that it snaps them upon impact. Most just let go, no regard to the snap. The snap's just as important as the wedgie, to leave the person seriously cheesed off." Super then looked at Duo's expression. "As you can clearly see..." Marx's smile only got wider. "Any questions?"

Somehow through the serious discomfort that Duo had just been forced to endure, she heard all of Marxy's little speech and it actually sank in.

"DAMMIT MARXY!" She said as her underwear snapped back at her, leaving her very sore...and certainly cheesed off, especially as his smile only grew larger!

"You never said that I would be the guinea pig!" she exclaimed, her face red from embarrassment and discomfort combined.

"Turn round!" She snapped, grabbing his arm and twirling him round so she wouldn't have an audience as she reached to correct her underwear.

Within seconds she was back to normal, and she came up to Marxy's side, then she proceeded, at a speed she didn't realise she could accomplish to grab the back of his boxers and hauled them upwards hard. "So...this would be step 1 right?" she asked cheerily, and then she yanked them a little further upwards and released them and was satisfied with the loud snapping sound of material on flesh she received. "And that would be step 2?"

She then went and stood in front of Marxy, arms folded with a smug expression carved into her features. "Soooo...how'd I do?"

Supersonic's smile turned into a cringe as the ultimate wedgie was executed on him. "SUWEET MAMA LUCITA!" Marx yelled as the final snapping occured.

"Soooo...how'd I do?"

Looking at the smug look on Duo's face he couldn't help but to smile, despite the discomfort he was in. Moving at lightning speed he rearranged his boxers so fast it was probably no more than a blur to Shin. "You know, for your first attempt that was excellent. You're definitely learning." Marx then heard something outside the room. "You know how they say practice makes perfect?" Supersonic said as the evil smirk once again formed on his face as he started sneaking to the source of the noise.

Will had recently gotten back from the encounter he'd had at Cassie's house and was getting the last of his belongings before he left to train. So far it seemed like there was still no one else here.

"Oh I don't think we could have come across a better subject. You up for it little grasshopper?" Supersonic asked looking back at Duo. He was already preparing to take both of them out at super speed after the act was done, unknowing to him Harm no longer had his powers so he had little to worry about.

Duo walked quickly to the doorway where Super stood, looking out she saw exactly who he was on about.

"Will!?" she exclaimed to Super, "practice may make perfect but remember when you wedgied him and he tried to kill you, in fact everyone tried to kill you, even I tried to kill you!"

She looked back at Will and couldn't help but smirk at the possibility..."it would be...dare I say it...fun..." she whispered, more to herself then anyone else. And even though she and Harm had practically fort to the death the other night...and when he had healed her he had repaired the blemish he had caused to her wing when they had first met...she still hadn't actually gotten revenge for that!

"Alright Marxy, you're on! But if I'm going to wedgie Will then you have to promise to get me out of there as soon as it's done...!" She said, looking seriously at Super, "I don't want him to kill me just yet..." and as a second thought she added. "Not too quickly though...I want to see his face!"

Suddenly Duo raced from the room, her feet quiet on the corridor floor as she stalked after her victim, outstretching her hand and...

She grabbed a fistful of Will's boxers, and as she had to Marxy but moments before she yanked them upwards hard. "STEP 1!" she yelled, and then with a final tug she let go and laughed hysterically as she heard the sound of smacked flesh resounding throughout the corridor. "STEP 2!" She yelled. She then jumped high and vaulted over Will, staring hard at his face to engrave his expression upon her memory.

"MARXY!" She yelled, signally that now would be the perfect time to make a getaway!

As soon as Supersonic saw the look on Harm's face as he once again felt the ultimate wedgie, though not at superspeed this time, Supersonic almost fell on the floor in laughter. Though he was trying his best to keep enough of his composure to get them both out.

"STEP 1!...STEP 2!"

Once more Will had the perfect blend of shock and pain on his face. Though shock consumed his face as he saw the one who did the wedgie hop over him. "DUO?"

"MARXY!"

Supersonic took her hand and was about to dart out of the Tower when he saw Harm's secondary reaction. He had to be sure he was seeing what he was seeing...Harm was...laughing. When Will finally stopped laughing he shook his head as he looked at Supersonic and Shinigami. "You two have obviously been hanging out too much. But you're in luck, I'm not gonna kill you today. I actually don't have the power to anymore if I wanted. As luck would have it, I'm packing to go for a couple of weeks. Don't worry I will be back." Harm's expression then turns serious as he throws his bag over his shoulder. "I'll deal with the two of you then. I suggest you use the time to buy your tombstones." He threatened playfully.

Marx had to wonder, Duo was helping him play pranks on people, Harm got wedgied and took it as a joke instead of trying to kill them...well...for now. At what time did he enter the Twilight Zone? Who cares, it was still morning and it had been one of the most fun days he'd had in awhile. "You can't kill what you can't catch Willie."

Harm then looked at both Marx and Duo with a smirk. "I let you both live, don't push it."

"I'm packing to go for a couple of weeks. Don't worry I will be back."

"You're...you're leaving?" Duo asked, suddenly very serious even as Super and Will continued to joke, suddenly her happy mood seemed to dampen slightly. <Great...I've ruined it...> she though miserably, her face falling slightly, even though she tried to keep up a smile. "Why else would he be leaving...I really ruined things for him and Cassie! >

"I let you both live, don't push it."

"Will!" She said, grabbing a hold of his arm to stop him from leaving. "I'm sorry!" She blurted out, "I'm sorry about the other night, I didn't mean to...I mean...I know I messed up, alright may be messed up is too mild a term but...why are you leaving!? I didn't mean to screw things up, I promise I didn't!" She said, rambling to the extent that she could have rivalled Supersonic, a hint of desperation lacing her tone.

"I'm sorry about the other night, I didn't mean to...I mean...I know I messed up, alright may be messed up is too mild a term but...why are you leaving!? I didn't mean to screw things up, I promise I didn't!"

"You really have been hanging around Super too long, you're starting to talk like him too." Will joked trying to lighten Duo's mood to show he bared no malice towards her. "We both...deal with our darkness in different ways. I'm not leaving so much of what happened the other night, more about what happened a little while ago." Will smiled as he thought of how happy Duo looked before he said he was leaving. "You seemed to have dealt with yours better than I have. I had to give it up, all of it. Of course we both know that I'm not just gonna go to a civilian life now, I'm simply going to find a way to fight without relying on the dark arts. I'll be back in no time, I've always been a fast learner. And if Cassie couldn't get me to stay, you two have no chance." He said giving both of them a warm smile, which was odd since he normally only gave Cassie those, but without his demonic connections he felt that he could open up more, though not too much, didn't want to lose his reputation. "Both of your asses are mine when I get back."

Supersonic started to crack a joke when Will shot him a glare that showed he could still be dark when he wanted to. "I know what you're thinking Super, say that thought outloud and I'll kill you now." Marx then bit his lip. "You look good without the hood by the way." Supersonic got the exact same expression on his face as he started to talk again. "Shut up!" Will quickly said laughing a little. He then turned to Duo. "Don't worry Duo, as I said when we were in the Death Realm. This is the real you, just like this is the real me. Enjoy it." With that said he continued to walk out the door.

"Don't worry Duo, as I said when we were in the Death Realm. This is the real you, just like this is the real me. Enjoy it."

She couldn't help but smile at that, the idea that the fun she had been having throughout the day was really from her...not some mask or shield, but a true reflection of herself, and hearing it come from Will made it feel all the more solid.

"You'd better get back soon!" Duo threatened jokingly, even though she was still upset inside at the idea of her friend leaving...everyone seemed to be going their separate ways at that point in time...she hadn't seen Cody in a while, Will was bailing, Cassie she hadn't seen since the other night and didn't count on seeing her for some time...

"Come on Marxy...what else can we do that’s...fun...? I'm beginning to feel broody and depressed again..." she said in a sullen tone.

"Awwwww." Marx said sympathetically as he put his arm over her shoulder once more, smirking a little as he saw the slight glare considering the last time he had his arm on her shoulder like that he gave her a suprise wedgie. "Well...you know Will laughed after you gave him the wedgie, and he didn't kill us. That's never a good sign."

Without warning Supersonic grabbed Duo's hands and flew her at superspeed past the water and inside one of the relatively crowded places in San Francisco. Getting a smirk as he looked at the unsuspecting people he whispered to Duo as they hid behind the bushes, Marx pulled his hood over his face once more. "This is one of the best places to wedgie people." He then caught Duo's suprised look. "Hey, if you can't give a wedgie to a complete stranger you just got no right doin it." With that said Supersonic took off out of the bushes, as you heard the snap of elastic and the yell of the unsuspecting woman before Marx ran back to the bushes. Super had a huge smile on his face though it wasn't visible now, but you could tell. "Your turn. If you get caught, I'll get you out....y'know, if you're not good enough." Marx taunted.

"Your turn. If you get caught, I'll get you out....y'know, if you're not good enough."

"Says the person who won't get caught because they have super speed!" Duo muttered as she looked around for her "unsuspecting victim"

Her eyes fell upon a group of three guys, about 17/18 years old, lounging against a wall, scooping for girls no doubt. She cracked an evil smile, the one in the middle was longed casually, his arm braced against the wall, as he posed, winking occasionally at certain girls who would smile sweetly back. <Him! > Duo thought as she emerged from the bushes and blended into the crowd.

The wall was roughly 4 ft high, just enough to lean casually against...several metres away from the tree boys, covered by the milling people she jumped over the wall. She continued walking at a leisurely pace, her eyes never leaving her target as she gradually came up behind the middle one, his shoulder-length blond hair making him easy to identify.

Silently she knelt on the wall, her movements barely stirring the air so she wasn't detected, she reached downwards, her sights set on the florescent yellow boxers with green stripes that was partially protruding from his hipster jeans.

She grabbed a fistful of the boxers and let out a cackle as in the space of a second she yanked the jeans upwards, and before letting go to receive the customary snap that Marxy had insisted was so important, she twisted the material for good measure, and she could have sworn she heard a ripping sound as she released the material to receive the snap!

The posing teen let out a horrifyingly high-pitched squeal, as his boxers suddenly didn't seem to be sitting right and it shocked his two friends into action. All three of them turned round swiftly to see Duo doing a backwards flip off of the wall and making a dash back into the crowds of people, just before she melded completely she turned, smiled sweetly and waved at the very red faced boy.

"Dude that girl wedgied me!" The teen exclaimed, his voice still far to high.

His companion held a hand above his eyes to block out the sun's glare as his eyes trailed over Duo before she vanished from sight.

"Mate...that girl can wedgie me any time!" he said with a low whistle.

Duo made her way back to the bushes where she had left Super. "See!" She said, even going s far as to stick out her tongue at the doubting Marxy. "Did the wedgie and didn't get caught either!"

Supersonic gave an applause upon Duo's return. "Ok, that was friggin awesome! I heard the snap from all the way back here! Loved the twisting you added, and did I hear a rip? Total pro level, grasshopper." Super said excitedly, her technique was just as good as his, maybe even a little better. Marx cracked his knuckles as he looked at the people for more victims. "Now for what I have modestly titled the 'Don't-try-this-one-without-super-speed' move." After saying the name for the move, he took off into the crowd and stopped in front of a couple. A male with shoulder length brown hair and a blonde teen girl. Super gave a wave to the two before seemingly disappearing behind them and one hand on each, gave both of them a wedgie at the same time, the final snaps echoing through the area. As Marx returned to the hiding place he exclaimed. "Oooo! That dude was wearing a thong, I kinda feel bad for a few seconds when that happens....and the few seconds is up." Super said flashing Duo a smile.

"Much better when you're not the victim right? Just about as fun as dropping water balloons on people." Supersonic then froze as what he just said sunk in. He then looked at Duo flashing a sinister smirk. "You up for it?" Supersonic was glad that the slight depression that Duo had been started to get seemed to have passed, he wanted her to keep having fun today.

"You up for it?"

Duo's eyes flickered over the people milling about them, the concept of dowsing them all in water was funny, but a few of them had already been subjected to the wrath of the wedgie and most seemed to be enjoying their day out...a wedgie could be quickly fixed even if it was highly embarrassing...changing soaking wet clothing would be a little more difficult.

"I'm up for...but not here." She said, even though the thought of dowsing those three boys was highly appealing. Suddenly her eyes grew wide as an idea dawned on her.

"Not here..." she said, her classic sinister smile gracing her face, "but I know the perfect place...and we would be slightly considerate to our victims because they wouldn't have to go far to get changed...plus they deserve it." She said, cracking her fingers menacingly, she gaze fixed on Super...seeing if he would approve of the destination, "Elias High!" She said, "I know a few stuck up girls who need to be taken down a peg or two..."

Supersonic's devious smiled showed through his hood as he morphed devil horn on the top of his head which poked through the top of the hood. "Oh that's good. That's really good. Couldn't have thought about of a better plan myself since there's still no one at the Tower yet. As a matter of fact, that's so good that I'll warn you this time." Though the warning was a little pointless since he forgot to tell Duo exactly what he was warning her about. Taking her hand once more he used to super speed to get back to the roof of the school in a matter of seconds.

"Be right back with the balloons, have a good bit in my room, also have extension hoses so they'll be able to reach to the roof." In a flash Supersonic was gone, but in about 30 seconds the supplies that they'd need seemed to start appearing randomly on the roof before Marx finally got to the top of the roof with the hose. "What can I say? I'm always prepared for stuff like this." The speedster said with the smile still on his face, this was gonna be great! "Now, who are the targets?"

Duo's head whirled as Super took her hand and sped them back to Elias. "Some warning!" She said, nudging him gently in the ribs.

Super went speeding about, gathering supplies so they could launch their water balloon attack.

"Now, who are the targets?"

Duo leaned over the edge of the roof and spotted the group of five girls, sitting where they always did on a Saturday morning, having their little gossiping session. "Them!" Duo said, pointing to the group, who were currently pointing and laughing at some poor girl. "Those five, they could serious benefit from a few water balloon. There Claire, Catherine, Emma, Heidi and Danielle...and they're always taunting everyone else, always having a sniping comment...they tend not to speak to my face though...especially after I almost drilled a pencil through Claire's hand!" Duo said with a sinister smile.

"But I think plain water is too good for them!" She thought back to her babysitting last night, to Kelsey’s inventive means of dying her wings pink... "Don't suppose you're up for another trip Marxy...coz I could really do with some red food dye!" She said wickedly.

Marx laughed a little as Duo said that she almost drilled a pencil through one of the girls' hands. That din't suprise him in the slightest. Supersonic seemed to freeze for a few seconds as he realized why Duo'd want him to get red food dye. He then sighed overdramatically. "Ah a woman after my own heart. So that's what happened to your wings huh? That's just pure evil...I LOVE IT. Be right back." Within a few seconds Marx returned with the red dye. Using the hose he filled the balloons with the water and dye suprisingly never accidentally blowing up the balloons as he filled them. "One of the many skills a true prankster must learn is how to fill up a balloon to it's max without it popping on them, adding dye to it only increases the need to master this" He said laughing a little.

Marx then shapeshifted his hands into a huge slingshot, with a section made for the balloons. "Let em rip Duo." Super said after he made sure no one else would get caught in the crossfire, he might be a prankster but he's not completely heartless. He couldn't help but to snicker a little in anticipation.

Duo grabbed a water bomb and loaded it into the catapult as she too up a position next to Marxy. She smiled wickedly as she aimed for the ringleader of the group, Claire, a nasty piece of work.

"BOMBS AWAY!" She yelled as she let go of the balloon, instantly grabbing for another although her eyes never left the plummeting balloon as it's velocity increased under gravity's pull.

Duo actually squealed with laughter as the balloon hit its target, exploding on Claire's head who screamed in surprise as her designer clothing, face and hair were stained pink.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!" Duo yelped, jumping up and down excitedly, and she released the second balloon and her laughter only increased as Emma was hit and the sprays from the balloon also got Heidi and Danielle as well!

"Damn this is fun!" Duo said chirpily to Super, her face lighting up. "Come on Marxy, you have a go!"

Supersonic laughed evilly. "Heeere Cathy Cathy Cathy Cathy." Marx taunted as he saw the girls had already started to spread running away so they wouldn't be hit anymore. "You can run but you can't hide." Super said as he made the slingshot pull back on it's own aiming carefully. "BANZAI!" He yelled as he launched the balloon hitting it's mark on the back of her head. Marx then joined in Duo's laughter, he had to admit this was much more fun with someone else along.

"They're getting away and we still have balloons left!" Super exclaimed as he quickly loaded all the balloons into the slingshot which he morphed into a machine gun of sorts, basically sniping the running girls with the remaining balloons. "Duo, I can honestly say I haven't had this much fun in a long time. This was better than the mass wedgie!" Marx then looked back as he heard the doornob to the roof start jiggling, someone must have heard them. Though by the time the door was open, there was nobody there and no evidence of the water bombing. Supersonic then looked at Duo as once again they were in San Fransico but in a different part. "That was a close one. See, that's why you shouldn't do too many pranks without super speed." He said laughing.

Marx then looked to the side of him to see they were next to a movie theatre, before looking back at Duo who was still getting adjusted after the sudden move. "Sorry about that. How bout I treat you to a movie to make up for it? I heard 'Blood and Gore 3' is awesome."

"Duo, I can honestly say I haven't had this much fun in a long time. This was better than the mass wedgie!"

Duo's wicked smile changed to a more pleased one, happy that Marxy wasn't simply hanging with her because he pitied her. <Perhaps Will was right...> she thought happily, <perhaps I have friends because they actually like me! >

Suddenly she was gathering her bearings once again as Marxy had bailed them out of the school at top speed to prevent them from getting caught. "I may actually get use to that eventually at the rate we're going!" She said as the swirling world gradually came into focus once more.

"Sorry about that. How bout I treat you to a movie to make up for it? I heard 'Blood and Gore 3' is awesome."

Duo looked at the theatre with open curiosity. She hadn't been to the cinema since...well before she had died, and since she hadn't done much socialising in Hell, she had witnessed the world changing but had been apart from it all. It had taken her enough time to get use to the way things were at the minute with all the new technology...she had had great fun watching the movies last night in colour...the idea of watching one in colour on a "big screen" seemed all the more appealing.

"All right!" Duo said happily, even liking the sound of the title that Marxy had suggested. "Will it be in colour? The one's I watched with the girls last night were!" She asked hopefully.

Supersonic smiled. "I don't watch movies that aren't in color. If they are, I just wait for the to be colorized." He said laughing as he pulling off his hood and covering his eyes with shades again so he'd blend in while they stood on line. "Wait...girls night out? Ah, so that's why you're in such a good mood today. I saw Blood and Gore 1 and 2, they were so awesome, they really fit the name. Sometimes I'm not even sure there's a plot just mindless, bloody violence. It's great!" As soon as Super got the tickets, his eyes went wide as he saw the food court. "Oooooh yeah!" He exclaimed as he dragged Duo with him though not nearly as fast as he'd been doing throughout the day.

After they got to the checkout, Super had ordered so much goodies that it took both of them to carry it all. With a smirk he looked at Duo. "I heard about the contest at the barbeque, and I know that I can eat an emmense amount so I figured this food would last us at least to the beggining credits." Marx joked as they got into the movies and he started sipping on one of the blue rasberry slurpies that he'd got. "I swear these things are addictive." There was still a few minutes before the movie started, which gave them enough time to place all the food where it wouldn't fall down. "Having fun?" Supersonic asked Duo, he kinda knew the answer but he wanted to be sure.

"Oooooh yeah!"

Suddenly Duo's was being dragged over to a counter loaded with food, her eyes grew wide as she took in the sight of it all, and was even more delighted when Marxy decided to take half the food supply with them.

Soon they were sitting in their seats, perching the food about them, ensuring that none of it fell. She grabbed her own slurpie, "mmmmmmmmm!" she murmured about the straw in her mouth, indicating that she thought they were great, and she nodded her agreement at the "addictive" comment as she drank half her slurpie in one go.

"Having fun?"

Duo stopped slurping her slurpie and looked Super in the face, which was slightly easier without the hood; she smiled broadly, "Having fun?" She repeated, shaking her head slightly at the question. "Marxy I haven't had real fun since before I...died...and even then I've never had this much fun in my life!" She said sincerely, her eyes flashing with unguarded happiness, and then she diverted her gaze as she looked at her hands. "Marxy...I mean...you are having fun too right...?" She asked nervously.
