Episode 2 - Mad World
Featuring

Gypsy never liked using sustained illusions. Sustained illusions, like the snow, was difficult. They depleted her energy reserves, made them easy to break, and, and worst of all maintaining such illusions required her to focus. While distracted by the snow and taking down civilians with her hand to hand combat skills made her susceptible to a sneak attack. 

Busy taking down the last of the half confused half mad rioters Gypsy was overwhelmed with force from the side. It was the green snake construct with its large maw opened and facing her pinning her in a nearby wall. Her magic protected her from any serious injury but Gypsy knew there was going to be a bruise. Using both her hands it took all of her human strength to try and keep the mouth open enough for her to phase through the wall escaping inside a jewelry store. Without taking a breath she turned invisible and left the building. 

Gypsy made for a running dash outside of the store and back out into the middle of the street still invisible. The snake that attacked her before was now flying above terrorizing the few mad civilians, nearby was another. "Well aint this this is just dandy" Gypsy said with some resignation. 

Turning visible again she shouted ""HEY MR. AND MRS. BIG AND SCALY OVER HERE"" Gypsy shouted. Her screaming got the attention of the construct  from before and flew towards her and the other that was attacking civilians. Once she got their attention she ran as fast as she could away from the civilians and straight towards a building on the other side of the street. Running as fast as she could with the snakes inches away from she became intangible and ran into the building. The force of the impact was enough to destroy the two contructs and leave a large hole on the side of the building.

Remarerializing Gypsy took to the streets and looked for her teammates, seeing them nearby she dashed towards them. "Toon Girl! Captain!" Gypsy shouted. The two were quite good to see again. The ordeal with the snaked and the civilians felt like it took forever to the young hero.

Marvel was mid-flight when he heard the beckon, and thus he stopped and spun around to the shouting.

"Been hiding, have we?" He suddenly got an idea. It was crude, but it was something. He zipped down to where Gypsy was, and he sized her up.

"You have the body of an athlete." Was that rude? Probably. He noted once more to himself that he should work on his social ettiquite as well. Still he continued, eyes training to and fro from the stationary Gypsy to the floating Brainwave who sat smug above the city streets,

"Have you ever played a sport?" he inquired of Gypsy.

Toon Girl meanwhile was busy thinking of some way to end all this as it was getting rightfully boring. Being swarmed by people wasn't the most fun thing in the world. Heck it was getting so bad she had to take off her gloves and use her claws to dig a tunnel out of the crowd that Brainwave had sent on her so as to not hurt any of them. 

Digging a tunnel, she followed what she thought was Shazam landing from his flight, popping her head out of the ground when she got to the spot. Considering he was with Gypsy, Toon Girl waited a bit to see how things played out, only the top of her head popping out of the ground.

What an odd thing to say Gypsys thought at the Captain's statement of her athletic body. Unsure of how to take it Gpsy decided to accept it as a compliment.

"Thank you dear Captain, and yes I do sports. In my civilian moments I play, but i dance way more than i play. Are you asking me to play with you my dear Cap-?" Her last bit of thoughts were cut short at the appearance of the the other one, the girl that radiated of whimsy and chaos. Paying little attention to what seems like a normal routine for the cartoonish hero Gypsy wondered what the captain who was not a captain had in mind.

Does she call everyone 'dear'? If his hood hadn't shrouded much of the top of his face, one could see the pang of confusion resting on it. Such confusion would have made Najee shutter. Najee would have understood Gypsy's use of endearing phrases was none the course for anything romantic and was likely just the way she talked--Marvel was not so privy to such overtly kind language.

"I meant no ill. I have no particular interest in you romantically, only as an associate and friend." He fixed an awkward smile beneath the shroud.

"You can... 'disappear', yes?"

It was around this time Toon Girl couldn't help but chime in. After all, there was a ripe joke here just ready to be used. "Ahem. Lady, this guy can't handle a little teasing. I think flirting might send him over the edge." She said, pulling herself part way out of the grund with a popping sound. She got stuck though when she had to pull her hips out. "Uh... give me a minute..." She said, trying to pull herself free.

"And I meant no such thing either" Gypsy commented hoping to rectify the issue. Thinking to herself 'do i really flirt that much?' Helping Toon Girl stuck in the ground, Gypsy kneeled and extended her hand while continuing her reply. "I believe that two or more people can play without it being romantic. Isn't that right Toon Girl?" Gypsy finished just as the other hero popped out of the ground. 

"Yep yep. Or be friends with benefits, that also works." Toon Girl said laughing, happy that Gypsy helped her get out of the hole she had dug herself. "Hehe, but enough about that. Whats this disappearing plan thingy?" Toon Girl said, putting her gloves back on.

Once settling herself straight after helping out toon girl Gypsy replied to the good Captain. "Yes I can disappear, but any moment I am being touched or disturbed will immediately cancel out my power. Such a tragedy if I say so myself" Gypsy hated that part of her ability. There were many things she wished to improve upon. "What, dear Captain do you wish for me to do, or rather what do you wish to do to me?"
