VGX-3 glanced from Bill to Amber, noting both of them had spoke to it.
"Defence plan: Best choice is: Offensive strike."
VGX-3 then hovered down so it was closer to Amber.
"Target hero: You wish unit to: Blast them back a bit: Question."
VGX-3's A.I progarm went into overdrive trying to figure out a plan and what Amber had meant by 'blast them back a bit' as it had no idea of direction, or what she want blasted back.
((Many apologies for not updating this, that annoying thing called real life got in the way. This small piece moves things on a few hours after the defeat of the aliens and their bizarre cloning machine. If you wish to post a reaction, please feel free but if not, this news report can neatly draw a line under the incident.))
An hour later, fire trucks and ambulances line the streets of Kings Row, surrounded by the flashing blue lights of a number of police cars. Within these crowds can be seen a few white vans, all plastered with station logos and names, equipped with a large satellite dish on their roofs. Next to one of them, a slender woman in a beige suit does her best to retain her calm as a river of diluted slime trickles past her expensive shoes. She stares down the lens of a camera held a few feet in front of her, taking her queue from the studio as the live transmission is handed over from the studio.
Thank you Gary. I am standing in Kings Row where for the past hour, heroes from around the city have bravely battled against what looks to be nothing less than an alien invasion. Eye witnesses report seeing hundreds of heroes, sometimes what appear to be duplicates or clones fighting over a meteorite which landed her in the early hours of this morning. The area had been evacuated before the impact, many fearing a repeat of the incident that occurred in the bay area a number of years ago. But from what we have learnt, these invaders were nothing like the fearsome Shivans that still terrorise that area. Following the destruction of what experts suspect was a machine controlling the clones, the heroes found no respite as they stood up against a giant monster made from the bodies of the replicated heroes. However, by channelling the electricity of a local substation through the body of one of the Clockwork Kings monstrous creations, the creature dissolved, ending the threat to the city. Citizens of Kings Row are today breathing a sigh of relief as emergency services work to clear the area
Several metres away, The Amber Banshee sat with the enormous figure of her father on the sidewalk, watching as vehicles with coloured lights drove by. Once the fight was over and the professionals moved in, the work of the heroes was almost forgotten. She held his hand in hers, her tiny hand swallowed by his palm.
That feels weird, she said as Brian changed his skin from soft flesh to cold stone and back again. I guess the Devoured Earth must have left you with a few gifts.
Or a curse, replied Brian. The virus is still in my system. I dont know if theres a way to cure it entirely. He let out a sigh. Does this mean I have to get a spandex uniform too?
Saffron looked affronted. There is nothing in my wardrobe made of spandex, she replied. We dont all wear stretchy clothing you know. She looked at her dads face, glad to see that he wasnt panicking over his apparent mutation. Besides, its not the clothing thats important, its the job we do. It shouldnt matter what we wear.
Brian watched a hero take to the sky, flying off to whatever new emergency threatened the city. I can live with that, he said.

Union watched the two behemoths duke it out. He too saw the effect the electricity had on the creature. A smile curled across his lips. He unclipped the communicator from his belt.
"Alex? Come in Alex!" He said. The communicator buzzed for a second. Then a voice came through.
"Alex here. Is that you Stan?" said the voice.
"Yeah. Look, we've got a situation here. We need your help. Head to Kings Row right now." said Union.
"Aww, does little brother need my help?" said the voice mockingly.
"Alex I don't have time for this. Please, get to Kings Row."
"Hehe, on my way."
With that, the transmission cut. Union headed towards the congregation of heroes. He found Amber Banshee.
"I've called in someone who might be able to help." He said to her. He looked up as a bolt of lightning cut through the sky. "He he is now."
Alex Sage a.k.a. Anbarus, the living lightning storm, peered down upon the commotion. Rolling his eyes at the state of things before diving striking the ground like thunder. He rose to his feet. The arcs of electricity flowed around him like neon snakes, jumping off to touch anything conductive. He was a sight to behold.
"That was quick." said Union.
"Yeah I know." Anbarus replied with a grin. "So...what have we got here?"
