"Don't get your ponytails in a twist," Galaxy said, dropping down lightly next to Shadowbird.
He curled his hands into fists and smirked at the villain. "Shadowbird over here's pretty good with a gun."
Envy returned the expression, arms crossed in a defiant gesture. "We'll see about that."
She turned around and bolted in the direction of the police barricade. Behind it was a crowd of at least 200 unsuspecting people, police, and paramedics alike. Before anyone could react, a cackling Envy had launched herself over the barricade and began to touch people. Their eyes glowed green and their faces morphed into expressions of anger.
"I thought you loved me, Noah!" A woman kicked her husband in the balls with a stiletto heel.
"How could I ever have married you?" A man punched her wife in the face.
"God, I hate you!" a teenage girl backhanded her sister.
The crowd's heartbroken screams echoed in the downtown street.
Envy stepped through the crowd, slowly and deliberately. Though the crowd attacked each other with vigour, they didn't touch the lithe girl.
"Heartbroken Lovers!" she called, her voice ringing over the crowd's.
The crowd stopped pummeling their former partners. Their green eyes locked onto Envy's own, and their bodies were frozen. It reminded Galaxy of a horror movie.
Envy pointed a finger at Shadowbird and Galaxy. "Your hearts will be healed if you get those two!"
Over 200 pairs of eyes made contact with the two heroes, their anger burning with a green fire.
"Crap," Galaxy whispered out of the side of his mouth, breaking the perfect silence.
Then the crowd ran towards the two, screaming and foaming at the mouth.
