Reptile Trouble!

To Red Witch: Yeah, the bad guys all fear a hormone-crazed Jubilee.

In the last issue of "Reptile Trouble": Sergeants Amanda Briscoe and Harold Polanski were called in by a loudmouthed dispatch officer, telling him that the mutated Dr. Turnbull was attacking ton and Kid Razor had engaged him. Meanwhile, Kid Razor gave the mutated doctor the name Dr. Reptile as the two altered humans battled it out. Ronnie Rocker saw use in the observing Tommy, Jubilee, and Fingers. As the issue ended, he asked them if they'd like to help Kid Razor.

(Behind Ron's Pizzeria)

"Do I?!" Jubilee squealed. "Of course I want to help that heavy metal hunk!"

"What do we have to do?" Fingers asked.

"Do you kids know anything about reptiles?" Ronnie asked.

"Yeah…" Tommy scratched his head.

"They're cold-blooded, right?" Jubes blinked. "That means they can't maintain their body temperature."

"Yeah, it does." Ronnie realized. "That means to hopefully slow down Dr. Reptile, we'll have to take him somewhere cold. I'm no Cleveland native, kids. I was a New York boy, born and raised. To stop a reptile this big, we'll need somewhere cold."

"I don't know any places that are cold around here. I haven't been here that long!" Jubilee exclaimed.

"Wait a minute! The Warehouse District!" Fingers snapped his fingers. "That area of town is full of warehouses! I remember this one place that's full of meat, like that scene in Rocky!"

"To keep that meat fresh, they'd have to refrigerate the place. Nice." Ronnie smirked. "Where?"

"The Warehouse District is that way." Fingers pointed east.

"Where's the warehouse?" Ronnie groaned.

"Oh, I know where it is! Fingers took me there one time!" Jubilee told Ronnie the address. Ronnie nodded.

"Thanks, uhm…Jubilee, right?" Ronnie nodded.

"Yep." Jubilee smiled. "Can you get Razor to take me out on a date? Pleeeeeeeeease?" Jubilee begged. Ronnie blinked.

"Ah…heh heh…I'll, um…I'll…see what I can do." Ronnie laughed nervously before disappearing. Man, that girl's crazy!

"I don't think Razor will want to go out with you Jubilee." Tommy snickered. The Asian-American mutant glared at the drummer. "You're going to beat me senseless, right?" Jubilee smirked evilly.

"I'm going to let you see your own gray matter." She produced a baseball bat from her coat and smacked Tommy in the head with it.

"Hey! OW! That hurt! Seriously!" Tommy yelped. He saw the look in the mutant's eyes that screamed three words: Tommy must die. "Yipe!" Tommy ran off.

"Come back here!" Jubilee screamed, chasing after the screaming drummer.

"Jubilee, put that bat down before you hurt somebody!" Fingers ran after them.

"I'll put it down after I'm through introducing loudmouth here to his brains!"

(On the other side of the pizzeria)

"Hey Godzilla, Tokyo's on the other side of the ocean! You're rampaging the wrong city, jerkoff!" Razor catcalled at Dr. Reptile. Dr. Reptile hissed and lunged at Razor. Razor dodged and the doctor's jaws ended up clamping down on a lamppost. With a sickened look on his face, Razor watched Dr. Reptile rip out the lamppost from the ground with one jerk of his neck and bite it in half! "Boy, you've been getting your vitamins! Mama Reptile must be so proud." Reptile snarled at the Kid of Rock 'n' Roll. "Hey, you've gotten to attack, now it's my turn! HAH!!!" Razor blasted the doctor with a Power of Rock beam, sending him into the air. "Oh, if the Avengers could see me now! Ha ha!!" Razor laughed. "Too bad they're such government ass-kissers." Razor mused. "Although the Kid of Rock must admit, they've had some great-lookin' chicks on board over the years." Razor chuckled. A screaming Dr. Reptile hit the ground hard with a THUD and a KABOOM!!!! "Oh hi, Doc. You're late for your 6 o' clock appointment…Doc?" Razor peeked down in the hole. "Doc?" He blinked. "Doc? Oh come on, don't tell me you're making like Cyclops and getting all mopey on me…Huh?" He heard snarling coming from the hole. "Doc? Doc? YIPE!!!" Dr. Reptile leapt out of the hole. Evidently, he used his shell to protect himself in the landing. "You have got to be kidding." Razor blinked.

"Razor! I think I may know a way to stop him!" Ronnie appeared.

"Talk to me, Ronnie." Razor replied.

"Razor, he's a reptile. He's cold-blooded. If we can get him to a cold place, it may slow him down."

"We can't exactly go to the North Pole, Ronnie." Razor groaned.

"We won't have to. Follow me, man." Ronnie flew off. Razor flew behind.

"Hey, Gammera! Come and get me!" Razor yelled. Dr. Reptile roared and gave chase by leaping. Polanski and Briscoe watched the whole thing with amazed looks on their faces. Polanski snapped out of it.

"C'mon Briscoe! We have to find out what those two are up to!" Polanski snapped. The two cops jumped in their squad car. However, Polanski accidentally hit his head on the way in. "OW!" He clutched his head. He muttered and cursed as he got into the car.

"Can I drive?" Briscoe asked.

(A dark room in Cincinnati)

A young man, around 18 years of age, clad in a white t-shirt and jeans, held a soldering iron in his hands. He appeared to be welding something. When he finished, he brushed some of his semi-long brown hair from his face and smiled down at his creation. It was a visor similar to the one used by Cyclops, however, the earlocks were white, and the front was a translucent blue. Attached to the earlocks were a pair of shiny blue metal wings, like the ones on the Flash's costume.

The first part of my new invention is complete. The blue-eyed boy smiled. Don't worry, mom. I'll use the new invention to find the money to treat you. It's amazing what you can build from spare parts in a junkyard. All you need is the imagination and the smarts to pull it off. Once this is completed, I'll be able to save my mother…at the speed of sound.

Well, looks like things are getting interesting! What insanity will happen next? Where is Ronnie taking Razor? Can this spell defeat for Dr. Reptile? And who was that kid? What was up with the visor? What invention was he talking about? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
