Damn these Bang babies and their humor, Virgil thought as he steered the flying disk in the direction of his target. Didn't they have anything better to do on a Friday night? He certainly did but that was all contingent upon him beating them at this new little game of theirs.

"What's the matter Sparky? Can't keep up with us?" Ebon taunted as he tossed the target well over their heads into the waiting claws of Talon.

"Maybe he doesn't like us playing with his favorite toy," teased the winged girl just before she pitched the content of her claws downward towards F-Stop.

For a split second fire engulfed the meta-humans hands, "Maybe I should turn up the heat and make this a game of hot potato," the delinquent sneered.

Fear spurned Static into quick action, allowing him to intervene before Hotstreak could make good on his threat.

With his much sought after cargo safe in his arms he touched down on a distant rooftop to inspect for damages.

"Are you ok Rich?"

The blond looked at him as if he'd grown a third head. Was he ok…hell no he wasn't ok. He'd spent the last half an hour being thrown around like a ball by three of the city's most dangerous bang babies.

"If it's any consolation I don't think it was their intention to hurt you."

Another snide look from said blond and Virgil flinched under the weight of it.

"Easy for you to say and take solace in, there won't be footage of you on the 11 o'clock news being treated like Hacky Sack!"

With that said, the blonde stormed off leaving Virgil behind trying to stifle his laughter.
