No matter what it is that the four did, nothing seemed to stop Lowie. It didn't take long until they were beaten down. Potter tried to use his wand, but it was kicked out of his hand.
"Why won't you just give up already?" Lowie spoke, "I may have been the shortest to my bosses, but neither one could ever truly strike fear into kids. And as we all know, if adults can't scare kids, who are the future of our planet, then what good are they? But someone like me, someone of their size, whom they can easily mistake as a someone of their own age, yet already growing a beard. With my new power, I can take away all the adults and use the kids as slaves!"
"It is people like you that got me to start this." a low voice spoke.
Lowie looked around to see who was talking. In the hole he made in the wall earlier, he saw the one he recognized as Mortis' assistant. The other four looked at him as well. The man wore a grey trenchcoat, a brown hat, and his face seemed to be made of constantly changing inkblots.
"Rorschach?" the Green Lantern seemed to recognize him.
"Rorschach?" the name sounded familiar to Keiko, "Thé Rorschach?"
"Who's Rorschach?" Potter wondered.
Lowie seemed surprised, as he himself had never known what Mortis' assistant was called: "So you do have a name after all."
The assistant, or Rorschach, didn't answer the remark, but he did say: "The only reason I helped you, is because I hoped your doctor could cure me of my ailment. But because of you, that is now taken away from me."
"Well, I can't say that I'm sorry." Lowie laughed.
"Ailment?" the Green Lantern seemed surprised.
"Even superheroes get ill." Katie snickered.
"No matter." Rorschach said, "This will have to do instead."
Rorschach took out a phial, which contained a yellowish green liquid, rather than the greenish yellow one that Lowie drank. He opened it and drank from it.
"You think that'll help you?" Lowie sounded amused, "Any other potion lasted a few hours at most, mine is permanent."
Once Rorschach was done drinking, he replied: "A few seconds is all I'll need with you."
He smashed the phial as he started running. Lowie, not feeling intimidated at all, started towards Rorschach as well. Once they got close enough to fight, they started dealing their punches. With both of them being under the influence of the potion, whatever attack they used seemed useless to both of them. Still, that didn't stop either one from fighting.
Meanwhile, Potter managed to get back up, pick up his wand and say: "Let's go."
"Go?" Keiko wondered, "What about this guy?"
"Doesn't look like he needs our help." Katie hissed.
"And even if he does, I still need to find that formula." Potter said, "It was stolen from our ministry, I should retrieve it."
"Then go." the Green Lantern said, "I'll stay here, in case Rorschach needs help."
"Heroes sticking together..." Katie sighed, "Did that ever work?"
"Sounds like the best we can do." Keiko agreed.
"Good, let's get going." Potter said, as he headed through the hole in the wall, followed by Keiko and Katie.
