[color=deepskyblue][i][b]Okay, okay... breathe.[/b][/i][/color]

Ecto was laying on the floor, his side a terrible mess. Though his healing factor slowed the bleeding, this was much more than he could handle.

[color=deepskyblue][i][b]Dammit, is this how it ends? I can't stay this way forever, but if I shift back, I probably die REALLY fast. But if I get to a hospital, somehow... make it there, I might stand a chance. Of course, that will mean the end of my vigilante career, since everyone will know who I am. Crap.[/b][/i][/color]

He tried to get up, slowly pulling his hands under himself, and pushed up his upper body with agonizing pain. He closed his eyes, and breathed deeply. 

When he opened his eyes again, a horror greeted him. Dark, terrifying, and creepy, Raven's monster looked at him.

[color=deepskyblue][i][b]"Are you... here to... take me? Can't you... see I'm... already dead?"[/b][/i][/color] The creature slightly tilted it's head. [color=deepskyblue][i][b]"Sorry... bad joke."[/b][/i][/color] It gave out a sad, but strangely beautiful sound, a grieving note. [color=deepskyblue][i][b]"Yeah, I know... it's bad."[/b][/i][/color]

He afforded himself a slight smile as he closed his eyes, and tried to come to terms with the possibility that this was the end.

"Ecto." - he looked up, and saw Raven standing over him.

[color=deepskyblue][i][b]"Raven you have... no idea how... happy I am to see you."[/b][/i][/color] She knelt down next to him, and slowly, softly touched the seeping liquid.
[color=deepskyblue][i][b]"Yeah that's... gross, sorry."[/b][/i][/color]
"Hold on, you'll survive." 

She started taking off her clothes. [color=deepskyblue][i][b]Well that's not what I had in mind. Is she made of marble...? Oh, she's an albino, how cool. Or maybe I'm getting dizzy and can't see colors right anymore.[/b][/i][/color]

"Your going to have to trust me, I can't help you unless your shifted back to normal." [color=deepskyblue][i][b]But that would leave me completely naked...Wait, is she...coming on to me? No stupid, you can't think straight.[/b][/i][/color]

"Disperse my friend." - and with a whoosh, Raven's dark minion disappeared to fog. She said some words, like a mantra she chanted her poetic summon, and the phoenix appeared that pulled Tank from the stage. [color=deepskyblue][i][b]That's nice, nice bird... Shit this is painful.[/b][/i][/color] 
She turned to the phoenix: "Hello my friend, I need your help for another." 


Utterly confused and light-headed, Ecto looked at Raven Tale. [color=deepskyblue][i][b]"Whatever you... you know."[/b][/i][/color]

He shut his eyes, and materialized himself on the ground.
