I'm not bothering him," Monica says in denial, looking at you like she's been slapped.  "I'm not.  I'm just looking out for him.  Nobody else does," she says, her voice getting bit thin as she says that.   "You're mad at me?" she squeaks with a stunned expression.  "Over Jackie?"At least she's not bursting into tears.Johan"Johan," Anna says again as you get over to the robot.  "Your other double is here."  It is instantly obvious she was talking to him, not you."Aw man," he says, tossing the stuffed rabbit to Mr. Bunny."Wraa!" Mr. Bunny exclaims happily, crusing the stuffed rabbit against his chest in a big hug and plopping down with it on the floor.  Both Anna and the other you come up to the robot as well."Aw man, you brought that little squirt with you?  Sometimes I don't think you have the brains afterall," he says tauntingly as he and Anna come up to the robot as well.Jennifer hits something inside the glove and it starts glowing bright pink.  "Ooo, pretty!" she exclaims.  "I dunno... it's a pretty nice glove," she says to you.  "You really gonna take me home to Mr. Split?" she asks in that 'I'm not as dumb as I seem' voice she uses time to time."Take her back to Split!?" your other self exclaims.  Anna tries to give him the signal to shut up, but he misses it.  "Yet more proof I'm the smart one out of us!  Thunder will never let her go back to that turkey.""You were lying!" Jennifer wails, breaking into tears.This one is the queen of the instant waterworks.Anna covers her face in her hands and curses in Russian.  "Look, Johan... Johans... Jo... argh!  You be quiet and stop upsetting the poor girl!" she scolds the other you.  "And you... I don't even know what I'm supposed to call you!  Both of you better listen up!  I spent the last week perfecting those gauntlets, and if anything happens to one, the other is useless.  So get it back!  Now!"Aboard the EPIC JetApproaching New York"Indeed, Michael," Thunder sighs before speaking to X12 again.  "However, muscle and electricity are far from my only tools.  I have flight and gadgets and super speed; and cold and fire and wind and sand; I can transform the very essence of matter, transverse cyberspace and make an army out of a single person; I have insects and vampires and werewolves and tigers and even a giant bouncing ball.  And of course, telepathy.""Ooo, that's me!" Dara squeals, bounding over to X12.  She claps his face in her hand and squeezes his face together.  "Ooo, I'm a telepath," she says to X12  "Scary huh?  Nappy time!" she squeals and X12 gets slammed back into his chair by a powerful mental blast, then slumps over unconscious.Heh, a bad sense motive roll, and while you could spend a hero point to re-roll the save and have a 50-50 chance of succeeding or so, there's no real point."How'd I do?" she says, beaming a big smile at Thunder."Uh... I was kind of thinking Empath might do something without actually hurting him.  But that works," he says with a half smile.  "He'll likely be rather upset at you.""Not a problem!  I can make him think he's a ten year old girl!" she says, skipping back to her seat."We'll talk about doing things like that later, Dara," Empath says, hiding a smile behind her hand as she quickly turns back to the cockpit."You must join me in my next argument with Trailblazer, comrade," Kodiak rumbles from infront of Michael and Dara.  "It would be nice to get the last word in for a change."The plane banks slowly and begins a somewhat sharp descent.  You see the buildings of New York pass beneath you as you head in towards the tarmac of EPIC HQ.</blockquote>
