Reality Frays

Dragon flinched when the cat spoke, and Roxana followed, white pulsing over her limbs and face. "Jesus High Christ!" She ended up sprawled over Dragon's lap in her efforts to get as far from the kitchen as she could. "Cheshire! I told you to stop sneaking up on me! You fuzzy pervert!" She looked around for something to throw, but ended up silently fuming as Dragon took her in his arms. "Creepy, talking, silent, feline son of a-" Her phone chirped, and she ended up climbing over Dragon again to reach it on the floor, where it had landed. "It's from Alex!" She squealed, turning, then blushing bright pink when she realized her butt was in Dragon's face.

"Um..." He said, trying not to look like he enjoyed it as she settled back into his lap, staring at her phone. "Good news?" Roxana opened her mouth to answer, but a bright flare of light cast sharp shadows over the room as the windows rattled. Turning to the window, a firestorm could be seen spinning in the middle of downtown. Dragon made to get up, "That looks like trouble."

An exaggerated rewinding noise reminiscent of a VCR from his childhood brought their attention back to the screen. ΔTrouble's my middle name. You just sit tight.Δ A soldier covered in dirt grimaced onscreen.

The girl swung her arms and hummed a cheerful tune as she walked down the street. "Look at this! Epic City! It's like a smorgasbord!" She giggled, turning a full circle with her arms outstretched, forcing a few pedestrians to duck away for fear of getting hit. "I can feel it, Dian! Feel it in the air and the energy!" She smiled behind her blank white mask, barely able to contain her excitement. "And we get the absolute best assignment! Dragon and Spectrum! I want to play with them and steal their powers and play with them and then play with them!"

The skull-faced child next to her grumbled, "I wish you'd calm down. If they see us I won't ever get to see how her light skin works." They wore similar uniforms, though the older girl wore hers so much better that Dian couldn't help but be jealous. "You just want to sleep with him before."

"No I do not!" the other girl shouted. The crowd around them had thinned, and the cars had stopped travelling this way a few blocks ago. "It's not like he's that cute. I wouldn't, and you're a short, skinny liar if you think I do." 

A cracking of bone from the younger girl drove off the last few passersby, though neither of them noticed. "I'm not the one who makes puppy eyes at Rend every time he walks into a room. 'Oh, notice me, Rend,'" She mocked, "'Look at my boobies. I want you to hold them.'"

Chips of sidewalk flew up from an energy blast at her feet. "Shut up, you little squeaky insect. At least I have boobies, and people aren't always calling me a 'little boy'." 

"Make me shut up, Mimic," Dian said, suddenly tall enough to stare her partner in the eyes. "Oh, that's right, you can't do anything on your own. You have to wait for someone else to help you. Can't even talk to R-"

Mimic shoved the other girl backwards. "You shut up now or I'll kick your butt so hard that you'll have to pull it out of your face." She started glowing bright purple, the shadows suddenly bending towards her.

ΔAre you two really the best they could send?Δ The apparition of a man appeared in the middle of the road. ΔThat iron-marrowed bastard couldn't find anything besides you two? I'm insulted.Δ The two girls turned, their anger at each other easily turned on the person interrupting them. Bone shards and a punch sailed harmlessly through the form, which rolled its eyes. ΔGo home, you useless children. You're not getting past me.Δ
"Oh yeah?" Mimic shouted, swinging her hand through the illusion a few more times. "Looks like I can go right through you. You can't stop either of us."

"Mimic...,"

"You're an old ghost who's lost his way. Shoo before a wind kicks up." She turned around and started walking off, but Dian grabbed her hand. Mimic shook her off with visible fear. "What?"

"That's..."

Lightning began to arc off every metal surface around them, from the lampposts to the manholes and the doorknobs. The apparition stood at the centre of it, glowing brighter as if at the centre of a Van der Graaf generator. ΔI AM THE HIGH ELECTRICΔ The voice thummed in the air around them, a mocking expression on the illusion's face. ΔAND CHILDREN SHOULD LISTEN TO THEIR ELDERSΔ With a rumble of thunder that rattled every window in the street, the light show vanished.

"Dian."

"Mimic."

"I think he knows why we're here."

"Maybe."

ΔDispatch calling all available PART Units. Supervillain sighting. Please respond.Δ The voice on the radio interrupted the two policewomen as they laughed and teased each other. ΔThis is Dispatch, calling all available PART officers and units in the vicinity of West Central. Supervillain sighting. Subjects are two young women in black school uniforms. Be advised, suspects are dangerous. Please respond.Δ The message repeated again before the first officer responded, declaring his ETA. An ASAC announced his unit ready to roll out, then calling for available agents to rendezvous at a predetermined point. 

ΔDispatch calling you two lovebirds sitting in the tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g. You're needed, so move it.Δ
