"Pick up...Dev...are they okay? What do you mean gone? Her...why would she do that, we had all agreed...I didn't do anything to her or her...We goin...I am coming too, I don;t care aabout what she has done in the past...Just the two of us then? Who else? Okay."
Everyone looked at him with really puzzled faces.
"Private matter that me and Dev have to take care of after this mess is over...providing we live through this. He's on his way back."

"I'm gone. Still meet at the rendevous point? Or has it been comprimised?" Furball asks as he tears out of the Rookery.

(Tempest recalls Red Bee from her previous encounters with him.)
Viviane stood against him, so can I. But he's so dark, so much like the one that...NO!!! I refuse fear.
I'll return to OoS.
(In a wisp of white smoky light, she was gone.)
And to show I bear no ill will, I, too, shall bestow a gift...

Red Arrow is unaware about the Red Bee, but she has harsh thoughts about people with insect powers. Just use acids or explosives and be done with it, the girl thought as the information began pouring in.

<call goes out to Rocky, Ex, PB, QK, Space Ranger>
It's the Red Bee! Our worst fears are realized. This changes everything--we need to work with Lardy and the LMB leadership if they can be found to end this threat.
I think you'll find we have bigger problems. I'm going to be joining in the fight.
Stay safe. Cobie out.

Tracking and transportation devices? <He touches his LMB flight ring>. I have a few Nth metal belts in the closet there if you need one. I don't really keep much of that stuff here. Otherwise, follow Power Boy (but through the door, please). Now, if you'll excuse me. <Rocky exits, through the front door, following Power Boy.>

<How the hell did Nyebif get a hold of this and, more to the point... when? He looked at the side of the sheath... still sealed. Whatever was inside, Nyebif never got a chance to examine it. Thank God for small miracles. Ex tore open the cover and began to read:>
Subject A-Null - deceased 2963
Subject A-One - deceased 2964
Subject A-Two - deceased 2966
Subject A-Three - deceased 2965...
<What is this, Ex thought, some sort of checklist? The A series all deceased... no real surprise there... they were all before my time.>

Subject F-Twenty Seven - deceased 2991 <flip>
Subject M-Six - deceased 3004... <flip>
<They're all gone, Ex thought with the briefest flash of regret. But why does this document even still exist? The very architect of Project Möbius was himself 20 years dead. Who had compiled this?>
<Dont look, Ex told himself... don't do it.>
<Of course you'll look. He flipped forward:>
Subject X-Null - status unknown
<Ex's lips pursed tightly. Someone knows.>
<He quickly scanned throught the remainder of the list. All deceased. The loop was almost closed. He tossed the list into the fireplace and watched it burn.>
Well... I knew it had to happen sooner or later, but I was really hoping for a little more time. There's nothing to be done now, but soon as this terrorist crisis on Legion World is concluded, it's time to pay a long overdue visit to my "dear old dad".[/b] <Exnihil's omni-com goes off; it's Cobalt Kid> Ex, I know you're more of a private citizen but considering all we've gone through recently, I thought you might have a stake in things. I firmly believe you're in danger and the recent attack on the casino was payback to Gruertis Nyebif. The Red Bee is crazy but he's deliberate. So you should first be among LMBers for safety. Also, perhaps the recent pre-cog abilities you've shown could come in handy? If there was a way you could control them...? See if some of the more powerful guys can give you a ride to meet me in downtown. Better your with us at the center of this madness... <Cobie signs off>

:exits into the bee filled streets>: [/QB] Red Arrow ran off to follow him. Better stick with someone with the same power levels. For once I don't have an ultimate strategy. But I have enough super-villains in my family tree to know this is a tantrum. Nothing is gained from all this destruction except pure fear. If the Red Bee really wanted us all dead, he could have done it by now. Besides, the man couldn't pull off the color scheme to save his life.

*Bursts through door.*
Are they here?! Is everyone alive?!
*Sees the chaos firsthand.*
Great rao...all this chaos...
...Cobie...
*Lolita goes over to Cobalt Kid, whom she has barely spoken to in over a year and sees firsthand the burns and bruises from the explosion. She can't tell if he's asleep or in a coma.*
...Oh Cobie...it can't end like this...not with so much unsaid...

<wakes up to Lolita holding his hand>
Glad to know...you still care...
<Cobalt's healing ability has begun to heal him, albeit slowly; he is able to sit up but not stand. His body is still covered in burns.>
Need to use my healing power on the others...bring me over to them...
<Looks at her>
Lolita...I'm sorry.

No problem, PB. We're all in this together. I'll have our staff physician, Dr. Avis Wasser here in a few minutes to have everyone checked out after you and Cobie see to them.

Furball sat up with a start. Knocking at least one attendant backwards.
"Woah!"
His ability to heal faster than the average person was kicking in. He looked around trying to get his bearings. "Where's..."
He spotted Cobie talking. Then he spotted Hot Chick loking at him. "Hey darlin'. I know how to show a girl a good time huh...>cough<" He winked at her and got up and walked over to Cobie. "Lemme guess, you were coming to tell me that Red Bee has no scent. I figured that out at your place. I was double checking my suspicions at the Casino when all hell broke loose. I found this," he reaches around to one of his back pouches and pulls out a small piece of cloth.
"I noticed it because it doesn't exist to me. It's the weirdest thing I've seen. I can;t sense it other than by sight."
He hands it to Cobie..."See if this will help Power Boy sense where he isn't. I gotta go see how she's doing."
He turned and walked over to Hot Chick. "Careful, I'm still crispy in areas."

Dev opened his eyes.
"What the hell happened. That guy packs quite a whallop with that stuff."
He shifts his flesh smooth. Stands up and starts to walk, but stumbles into a wall.
"Woah. Got to rest."

"You ain't too bad yourself sweetheart."
He grabs her hand and gives it a gentle squeeze.
Holding her hand he turns to Cobie..."You told me once that Brit shot this sob...what kind of bullets did she use?"
