XD

Behold, the latest chapter!!!!!

The people at the HIVE forum were bribing, threatening, and petitioning for me to write this chapter (I'm serious!!)

XDDDD I can't stop laughing at this!!!!!

DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING WHATSOEVER. MARK WALDEN OWNS EVERYTHING.

"Wing?" Shelby tried to catch the attention of their friend. He looked dazed at first, but now… he was scaring her.

Wing had a small smile on his face, and he had a mischievous glint in his eye. It was unnerving. "Hello? Is anyone there?" Laura asked, waving her hand in front of his face. Suddenly, she noticed a glass shard in the air vent above him. She could see the slightest amount of pink…

"Crap."

"What is it Laura?" Otto asked, breaking off his staring contest with Wing. Wing, however, was still agape.

"I think I know why Wing is like that." She said. "Wing? Who did you see first?" she asked him nervously.

"Was it me?" Shelby asked. Wing shook his head dreamily. "Me?" Laura asked. Wing shook his head again. "Please tell me it was her." Shelby said, pointing shakily at a random passerby. Wing shook his head again.

"Oh. Holy. Sh—"

Otto's swear was cut short, when their Chinese friend pounced at him. Otto was far enough to dodge the full blow, but he was close enough to be caught, and to fall. Hard.

"It's you! It's always been you Otto!!" Wing proclaimed shamelessly, cuddling Otto's chest (1).

"What?!" Shelby exclaimed. She was about to tackle Otto, when Laura grabbed her by the arm. "It's just the effects of the love potion. It's not true…." Laura's last sentence sounded unsure, when she saw Otto trying (and failing) to escape Wing's vise-like grip. Laura couldn't contain her laughter properly. She started to giggle at the sight. Shelby looked at them, and started laughing openly.

"It's not funny! Get him off me!" Otto exclaimed. He tried with all his might to push his love-potion-induced friend. "Don't leave me!!!" Wing exclaimed, hugging him even harder.

"GET HIM OFF!!!" Laura and Shelby started to calm down, and went near Otto. "You try to get away, while we pull him off you.

Before the girls could get a hand on the taller Asian, though, Wing jumped up. "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MY LOVE." He proclaimed, lashing out at the two (2).

"Otto! Evasive maneuver 758!!!" Shelby shouted. Otto was about to move, then stopped. "WE DON'T HAVE AN EVASIVE MANEUVER 758." He shouted back.

Shelby grinned. "I know."

She raised her leg readily and, with one graceful swing, aimed a painfully swift roundhouse kick at Otto.

Automatically, Wing blocked the attack.

"Otto, NOW!"

Otto ran as quickly as he could, grabbed by Laura in the process. She held something small and certainly painful-looking at his neck. "Otto, Wing only listens if you're in danger. But don't worry, as long as you don't move, you'll be fine." She explained quietly. "What exactly is that anyway?" Otto questioned uncertainly.

"It could either be a 100-volt taser gun or my dental floss. I'm not exactly sure what I put in my pocket with all the—" "OKAY, okay, I get it." Otto sighed. Why did the world love messing with him?

"Laura, put it down." Wing said, his tone suddenly deadly as sin.

"Oh no, Wing. You're not yourself. Even the antidote couldn't protect you from a direct application of the aphrodisiac. We need to get the antidote in the vents AND make sure none of the substance can make direct contact with anyone else in H.I.V.E." Laura said calmly.

"She's right you know." Shelby muttered, still trapped in an arm-lock by the Asian martial artist.

"The aphrodisiac has given me the chance to let my locked-up emotions free." Wing muttered. "This has never happened to me before! As my friend, do you really want to take that—" "YOU WEREN'T IN LOVE WITH OTTO BEFORE, RIGHT?" Laura exclaimed. Wing was surprised. Laura calmed down. "Listen, if you want, we can test your love."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?!" Otto shouted in Laura's ear. He was still stuck in her arms, and as retaliation, she hit him lightly. "If you're still in love with Otto after the antidote sets in, that won't be a problem, will it? WILL it?" the last sentence was intended for Otto. "No." Otto said dejectedly. Wing let Shelby's leg go (she had fallen down) and nodded.

"Wait…" Otto said. He had finally escaped Laura's hold. "What if Wing's still in love with me, even if he took the antidote?"

"……." Wing said nothing.

"We need to split up into teams to find the plant." Shelby said. The four of them were squatting down on the floor of Pike's lab. Everyone else was checking the security cameras for the plant that had caused the trouble.

Shelby was sitting beside Laura, and Wing was edging towards Otto, who didn't seem to notice.

"I'll go with Otto." Shelby said. ""Why?!" Wing exclaimed. "I can't have you raping Otto without our knowing!" Shelby told him. Wing looked like he was going to talk back, but he nodded dejectedly. "Fine. I guess that makes sense."

Otto stared at Wing, then edged away warily.

"Laura, you go with Wing. Meet back here in an hour. If we don't find the plant by then, we'll have to depend on the security cameras."
