Chapter Two
Danger and Lexi sat across from each other at an outdoor table. Danger wore a black formal suit with an orange colored shirt and black tie. Lexi was dressed in a fetching black gown.
It was their first official date. And this was a restaurant which most certainly did not serve duck meat, or any other kind for that matter.
Neither Danger or Lexi were really vegetarians, but finding one's species on the menu was something of a mood killer on any date. So they had chosen this place to avoid that possibility altogether.
"So... anything look good?" Danger asked, his tone lacking much of its usual confidence. This was definitely more awkward now that things were official.
"I'm thinking whatever this is with the carrots." Lex replied, unable to pronounce the name of the dish.
"I'll probably go with the bread and some soup." Danger said.
With that, they both paused, giving each other a look.
They were a rabbit ordering carrots and a duck ordering bread. It was so incredibly cliché they both had to laugh. Unfortunately, just as things were hitting a high note, their moment was interrupted by the sounds of a fight breaking out just down the street. The altercation quickly escalated into an all out brawl between an increasing number of people.
"We should probably go do something about that." Lex said.
"Must we?" Danger asked.
"We are the super heroes after all." Lex replied.
"Fine. But I'll do this by myself." Danger said. "No offense or anything, just that you're not exactly dressed for the job." He pointed out. Then he was off to break up the fight.
With a few well placed shots of binding yolk, things soon appeared to be under control. But it was then that a second fight broke out. Followed by a third, a fourth, and so on.
Soon, almost everyone in sight was beginning to attack whatever was in front of them. Even passing vehicles. It was total chaos. And the crowd was beginning to focus its attention on Danger and Lexi.
"Something's not right here!" Lex said, sounding creeped out as they backed away from the approaching crowd of crazed citizens.
"Ya think?!" Danger remarked. "Come on, we're outta here!" He announced as he pulled her closer and quacked them both to the safety of the nearest rooftop.
As they stood there looking down at the city below, it was nothing but pandemonium as far as the eye could see.
(A.N) Unlike on the show itself, the characters in my stories do not change colors just because they're out of uniform. Because frankly, it just doesn't make much sense to me.
I suppose one could argue that their suits are simply emitting some form of high-tech energy field attuned their specific powers which makes them appear to be those colors. But somehow, I just don't think that's what's going on here. For one thing, what would be the purpose of something like that? Any added protection it provided would have to be negligible at best. Otherwise, they wouldn't need to wear helmets and things like that from time to time. The idea that the Loonatics are simply powered down when they revert to their original colors is much more believable to me. But even that theory has certain holes in it. For one thing, I think they would do it more often if that were the case. Like when they go to pick up food from a restaurant. Or when they're sitting around watching T.V. Or at least when they went on vacation to that island with all the plant people. It's not like they were expecting to get attacked or anything, so one would think they would be powered down while on their way to what they thought would be a vacation.
Bottom line, I'm against the whole color change thing. I don't mind if not everyone agrees with me on this, or even if they chose to use it as element in their story. I'm just personally opposed to using it in mine.
