Chapter 5
"Benjamin Tennyson!"
As we head out of the ice cream shop I groan, turning to face the legitimately mad Doctor Animo. He's starting to really lose his touch on reality, and while I was young when I had my first mission so to speak, I was a bit older than three as well.
"Julie, get Harry out of here."
"Right." She nods, whistling for Ship to bring the car around before loading Harry into the back. Part of me is surprised that he isn't trying to fight it, but at the same time I don't doubt that he was 'raised' not to ask questions. As the car drives off I turn the dial of my watch, taking a deep breath and pressing it in as the massive toad he typically rides, rounds the corner. I know doing it this way makes me have to think about attack after the transformation, but right now I just do not want to give it that much energy. I can vaguely feel my limbs splitting and shifting, my form's name coming to me in a split second.
"Wildvine. You know what this actually works." I give a nod, completely ignoring the rant that Animo is giving. This however just seems to anger him as his toads tong shoots our for me and I'm only just able to slip our of the way.
"Can't blame me for you going off on boring villain monologues." I shake our head, quickly using a lamp pole to swing away- though I do nearly swing to far, just barely not hitting a window. "I really do not use this form enough. Sorry bout that one Wild, but I do have my tastes."
"Fire, flyers, and the big ones. Perhaps that precious speedster you kin with." Animo taunts, "Not so much your-" Holding up an arm and vines shoot forward. He's able to shoot a few with his ray gun but I'm not actually aiming for min, quickly wrapping his frog's mouth shut. "What is your aim Tennyson?"
"Stopping the frog, and stalling." I shrug, giving an explorative flick of my wrist snapping the vines from my body. " Good, good." Nodding I tangle the creatures forelegs as it jumps, burrowing under ground and pulling it down with me before trying its legs, appearing behind them and transforming to my base form before transforming once again, this time a little more calculatingly.
"XLR8." I smirk, visor flipping down as I zip out of the way of another shot, rushing forward and knocking out the man with a single punch. "Why did I not just do that from the start?"
Shaking my head I rush forward, tying the man up before contacting the Plumbers. It doesn't take long for them to arrive, and to take both the mad man and the frog away, and I can't help but sigh as I transform back to the body.
