Part 2!

Nemesis Kid had laughed when Chameleon Boy suggested that he should take some fighting lessons
from Karate Kid. The science police training was enough. Or so he thought anyway, until his first
session in the Legion simulation chamber.
He then discovered that it wasn't very wise to taunt someone before or after you eliminated
their powers temporarily. Or to assume they would admit defeat just because they couldn't use
their powers.
Of course that hadn't really occurred to him until after Lightning Lad picked him up by the
scruff of the neck and threw him away like a bag of dirty laundry!
Chameleon Boy had unsuccessfully tried to choke back a laugh and earned a glare from
Cosmic Boy.

"I love you!" Phantom Girl told Cosmic Boy and gave the boy a big hug, then saw Chameleon Boy
and hugged him too but harder.
"I love you too!"
Chameleon Boy looked like he couldn't get any air for a moment then turned into a small bird like creature
and flew away from the bear hug of doom. He didn't get far though as he crashed right into Lightning Lad
in the doorway.
Cham bounced off of the larger boy's muscular frame and reverted back to his Durlan form as he fell to the
ground. He looked up at Lightning Lad, blinked dazedly and accepted the red-head's helping hand up.
Lightning Lad had seen what had happened and smirked at Cham's 'distress' if that was what you
could call it anyway.
"Come on Cham, it can't be that bad, the effects of that Orolandian feel good gas will wear off soon,
just like Brainy said."
Then Phantom Girl spotted him and flew over there. "Oh there you are, Sparky! I love you too!"
She wrapped her arms around his waist and gave him a hard hug, he didn't mind her hugs but she
was overdoing it.
Cosmic Boy took the opportunity to fly out of the room with an ironic wave to Garth.
"Great, take one for the team, Garth!" He commented before he vanished out of sight.
Chameleon Boy had sought refuge behind Lightning Lad and snickered at that.
Lightning Lad sighed and rolled his eyes. "Very funny, Cham!"
He gently loosened Tinya's grip around his waist and smiled wryly at her.
"That's nice Tinya, soo how about hugging Cham again? You know how much he likes that!"
Cham gulped and flew off so fast you could almost see the speed lines after him and Garth
laughed out loud at his undignified exit.
Just then Bouncing Boy tried to sneak past the doorway but froze as Phantom Girl spotted him.
"Run Chuck, run!" Cham's voice called and that snapped him out of it and he bounced away
as if chased by some unmentionable horror.
Lightning Lad sighed as Tinya started to chase the black haired boy.
"Oh Sprock, here we go again!"

"No I'm not wearing that again, it's completely undignified!"
Timber Wolf told Phantom Girl who was currently doing her best puppy dog pout to get him
to do what she wanted again.
"Aw come on Brin, all I ask is that you wear the Scooby Doo costume again this Halloween!"
she said and hopefully held it up.
Timber Wolf shook his head and hurried out of the room but Tinya was on his trail.
He had faced monsters, hunters, been slimed and even digitalised, but keeping a stubborn
Phantom Girl at bay and keep saying no to her costume ideas was another story.
