Chapter 1
"Y-you may have defeated me Thunderman, but I will be the one having the last laugh ha!" the villain in yellow spandex exclaimed loudly after being defeated by the Thunderman Family.
Hank had contacted the Z-Force 4 minutes prior landing the finishing blow on Dr Ops(villain) rendering him defenseless and his yellow gadgets useless as he was sprawled against a wall outside his now destroyed lair, to which Max rolled his eyes at claiming his lair exceeded the Villain's in terms of eerieness and intimidating aura.
The Z-Force arrived minutes later apprehended the villain and expressed their gratitude towards the Super Family on a job well done and left.
"Well done guys, feels good to be on the job again" Hank said proudly.
"But, I thought you and Mom were retired Dad" Nora exclaimed smirking as Hank dropped his head, his pride wounded.
"C'mon Nora, let your father revel, we defeated 11 villains in one month, he deserves to feel overjoyed" Barb said ruffling her hair to which she scowled at.
"Yeah, it will be so until Phoebe and Max take over in a couple of years" Hank said suddenly as everyone turned and eyed the twins who stood next to one another.
"Hmph, whatever" Max murmured scowling at the ground crossing his arms.
Phoebe elbowed him lightly.
And he fell over.
Unconscious.
Billy was already at his side poking him expecting a reaction, after finding non he turned to the alarmed family.
"If he's gone, does that mean I get to be cool one now?" he asked innocently.
Everyone ignored him as they rushed towards the downed form of Max with Phoebe already there searching for a pulse.
"He's alive, I can feel his pulse although barely, I didn't elbow him that hard though" she said alarmed that she may be the cause of her twin's state.
"We know honey, it's not your fault, it's gonna be okay" Barb reassured squeezing Phoebe's shoulder feeling her daughter's guilt.
"Chloe sweetheart, could you teleport us back home?" Hank asked the youngest of his children hastily but softly who looked up concern filling her face.
"If you promise prince Max will be alright" she pleaded worriedly.
"I promise honey, your prince will be fine" he said rubbing her cheek and smiled at the reference of her older brother.
A minute later...
Hank carried Max slowly to his lair followed by the whole family.
"What's goi-" Dr Colosso started until he noticed Max's state as Hank lowered him onto his bed.
"What happened?" he tried again worriedly for his owner and practically the only individual in this family he tolerated.
Nora started explaining to the rabbit.
Hank phoned the Super League medical assistance.
No one noticed Phoebe leaving the lair claiming to get a fresh towel and a bowl of cold water to level down Max's rising fever.
No one noticed as Max's breaths became more rapid.
Sweat poured down his face profusely.
He convulged slightly gripping the sheets tightly.
That's when Max let out a loud pained groan.
And everyone noticed his state.
Everyone was panicking until Nora finished explaining to a frowning Dr Colosso (which was weird considering he is a Rabbit).
"Max honey, are you alright!" Barb fragedly asked gripping his hand into hers rubbing his wet forehead slightly causing him to groan more which in turn caused the whole family to wince at his pained expression.
"Move away from the boy" Dr Colosso said.
Barb glared daggers at the rabbit for the heartless remark, couldn't he see her eldest son was in pain?
"I know what this is, you're already making it more worse for him than it already is" Dr Colosso explained.
"You do?!"
Hank immediately resigned his phone into his pocket and raised a hand at his wife indicating he will converse with the Rabbit seeing the emotional state she was in.
She nodded at the gesture although not moving an inch away from her son.
The kids wore sad expressions noticing the state their ever so cool headed older brother was in.
"Explain" Hank simply but seriously said as it seemed his son's life was hanging on line, or so he thought.
"Dr Ops used to be a me-" he was rudely interrupted.
"Get to the point!" Hank demanded arms crossed dangerous glare fixated onto the Villain turned Rabbit.
"Max was exposed to aphrodisiac opium gas, it's a gas functioned for domination over small populations without the need for heavy arms purposes, luckily his exposure to the gas was minimal, though it has undesirable side effects." Dr Colosso stole a glance to a riveting Max sprawled his bed like a child throwing a needless tantrum.
"Wait, how do you know all this?" Hank demanded as the Rabbit somehow sent him a deadpanned look.
"I know this because I helped contribute to this wonderful aphrodisiac composition, back in my days of course"
he muttered the last part to himself,
He continued,
"His personality will change, this is a plus for you considering you always wanted him to follow in your footsteps towards heroism" he stopped noticing the oncoming question.
"What does that mean?" Hank asked lowly as the everyone listened intently, noting down what they knew so far.
"It means he will be nicer, more loveable, kind, gentler, it will be like an adverse persona of his normal self" he promptly stopped noticing Barb's face brighten slightly
"How long till the effects wear off?" she asked.
"2 weeks and a few days give or take" Dr Colosso answered.
Everyone smiled suddenly already imagining Max preparing breakfast, helping Billy with his homework, helping Mom clean the house, helping Nora shop for a new pair of bows or joining Dad on a father-son expedition he never got to go on with his father.
"But what of my prince's condition?" Chloe added suddenly as they were reminded of Max's agony.
"As I said its an aphrodisiac right?" Dr Colosso asked as they all nodded.
"it acts solely on emotions, it reverses his negative emotions for positive ones, BUT the one person he holds the closest bond with is the reason for his torture, he feels neglected, dejected alone, the gas has already entered his bloodstream altering his cells therefore its working against him because that one person is out of his trajectory, one more thing, he might act more fondly towards this individual if their bond was already naturally strengthened before all this." He concluded.
This was a lot to take in.
Everyone's jaw dropped at his intellectual explanation for 2 reasons.
#1 -his explanation actually made sense, they never knew the Rabbit would actually come in handy and be useful for once.
#2 -Max has dated more than 5 girls, it would prove difficult to find the source that can negate his agonic predicament.
'Are they this dense that they can't decipher my coded explanation' Dr Colosso thought to himself as he watched them rambling their thoughts.
He sighed through a smirk.
"We can't think of anyone rabbit" Nora said suddenly.
"Idiots" he muttered.
"Who's he half of?" he asked.
Huh, they had blank expressions.
"Mom! Nora blasted all the fresh towels with her heat vision"
Phoebe suddenly barged in and everyone's eyes bulged at her sudden appearance and snapped their necks back towards Dr Colosso who was nodding knowingly.
