Author's Note: I watched "Power of Resistance" this morning. Nice introduction to Tezz Volitov and something tells me we're going to be witnessing a little comedy between him and Stanford.

Draft 12: Perpetual Motion
One night, an explosion jostled Vert awake from sleep in his bedroom. "What was that?" he asked himself. "Are we under attack?"
The former jumped out of bed. Immediately swapping his clothes for his Battle Suit, he ran out of the room. He was promptly joined by Zoom, Agura, and the Cortez brothers, all in their suits. "You heard that explosion?" Vert asked.
"Yeah," Agura replied. "Rattled the entire Hub!"
"I think it's the Red Sentients," Vert assumed. "Keep your guard up, guys!"
"Oh, geez," Spinner said in fear. "Armageddon? Right now?"
"Calm down, bro," Sherman told him. "If we act fast, there won't be much damage."
"Thanks for the reassurance, Sherman," Spinner said sarcastically.
"It came from over here!" Zoom told them. The four skidded to a halt in front of a room that served as both a laboratory and a bedroom.
"That's Tezz's room," Agura noted. She caught whiff of something burning. "Not good!"
"Tezz!" Vert called as he opened the door. Smoke immediately flew out of the room and covered the hallway. As Stanford was coming in holding a teddy bear, also in his suit, the smoke spread to him. Everyone else began coughing as they inhaled the smoke.
"What's going on here?" Vert asked.
"I can't see a blasted thing!" Stanford yelled.
"Stanford?" Agura called out.
"Over here!" Stanford replied.
"Where 'over here'?" she asked, annoyed.
"The smoke clearly gets in your eyes," Spinner quipped. He bumped into someone. "Sorry, Bro!"
"I'm not Sherman," Vert told him.
"Oh, Vert, right!" Spinner hastily corrected.
"Team?" a Russian voice asked in between coughs.
"Is that you?" Stanford asked in anger. "What is the meaning of this explosion?"
The smoke finally cleared up to find Tezz Volitov in his normal clothes and covered in soot. His black hair was dirtied, his glove now broken, and he was wiping away the dust on his face. Next to him was a now broken generator.
"Nothing that you should know," Tezz snapped.
"Tezz, what happened?" Vert asked as Stanford tried to control his temper
"Couldn't sleep, so I decided to give my Perpetual Motion machine a test run," Tezz answered calmly. "Small glitch that I overlooked," he added while slapping his forehead.
"You said it's a perpetual motion machine, right?" Sherman asked.
"Yes," Tezz answered.
"It's technically impossible to make an engine that only does work," he told him. "And we're always moving. Perpetual Motion's in us."
