Lexi pulled at the ropes binding her untill her boots slid off and she swung by her wrists over the
deep chasm.
"I had to get myself into this. They warned me, they said 'no Lexi it's too dangerous',but I just
wouldn't listen."
She swallowed her fear and began to swing.
When she had the momentum she needed the straightened her hands and flew out from her gloves.
She slid down a moss-covered wall and came to a sitting position on a barrel of toxic waste.
"Well I'm glad to be out of that."
She stood in the foot deep water and rubbed her bare feet.
"Now let's get out of here."
She took a step.
"Hope that crocodile-man doesn't come ba-"
Suddenly a smoking Croc flew threw the room and smashed into the wall opposite the chasm.
Terry stepped in dripping with blood and green water.
"Hi."
She stared at him as he stood waiting for Croc to regain a standing position.
"...Um...Hi."
Croc pulled himself up and grinned.
"Bombs? Batman doesn't use bombs!"
"I just did."
Croc leapt across the chasm and tackled Terry to the ground, shoving his head into the water.
Terry struggled and then kicked Croc off him.
Croc slid on the damp rocks and plummeted into the chasm.
Terry began to stand just as the circuits in his legs gave out.
"Thirty minutes already?"
He hit the ground right infront of the pit and looked down.
Croc dangled almost fifty feet below, clutching a broaken pipe and trying to climb onto a small jut of
brick.
"This is crazy."
Terry reached for his grapnel and fired at the brick.
"CLIMB ON!"
Croc reached up and grabbed the cable.
"Terry no!"
Lexi ran forward and slipped, falling into the hole.
"NOOO!!!"
Terry grabbed her hand, but the combined weight of Lexi and Croc was too much.
He felt the sliding brick on his chest as he neared the edge and then...
The falling sensation seemed to last forever as they fell toward the bottom.
A green glow was coming nearer and growing stronger as they neared the end of the fall.
He could see a sort of muddy edge on either side of the "floor" littered with barrels of toxic waste and
the smell was becoming un-barable.
That's when they hit.
Alexis smashed into the mud and sunk in almost three inches.
Terry hit a barrel so hard that he almost blacked out, saved only by the suits reinforcements.
It was Croc who discovered the strange green pool in the center of the room.
Discovered it head first.

Samson Maxwell pulled himself into his apartment and collapsed.
His white suit was torn and his pant legs were dirty from the sewer water.
Pain tore through his throbbing head and tears streamed down his face.
"That little..."
Even if he had been able to finish his sentence before blacking out it would have had to have been censored,
but the jist was that he was extremely angry at Alexis Wilson.
After all, how would you feel if someone had shoved fifty packs of illegal steroids into your forehead?
Or if your head was the size of a desk chair.
