"So… This new thing that drained the power to the base…" Wally asked, "It's another fusion monster?"

"Yes, Judai." Barbara rolled her eyes, "Apparently the Heartless from the world where Sora's from fused with the Mynock from Luke's. But instead of just reeking havoc and chewing up electrical cables, this thing just up and eats electricity."

"Good grief… Also, that's not a good comparison. Didn't that guy love fusions?"

"Does it matter?- Either way, we have to figure out how to corral these things so that they can't keep messing with our electronics. The Reds and Blues are out of the question in fighting these things." Gwen pointed out.

"Dang. If I only had my full speed, I could take care of all of them." Wally grumbled, "Any word from Sanji and Lee?"

"Well… Sanji apparently found that these things are pretty tasty." Barbara said.

"He's not going to try to cook all of these, right? Those Necro-Xenos or whatever melted our pipes when he tried to use their acid blood to unclog them."

"Good grief, don't remind me of that." Gwen sighed, "It took us forever to find those replacement pipes. Barb and I had to play UNO to win them."

"Why are you complaining?- You won."

"I know that! But like… Why UNO? Of all things that we could've played, it was UNO? Why not Poker? Or Blackjack?"

"Look, the guy said it was a 'tradition' or something." Barbara pointed out, "And like… Do we really need to question that?"

"Well, he didn't exactly say how it was a tradition!" Gwen shot back, "All he said was that it was one. Which is honestly a load of crap if you ask me."


"They're not picking up." Sanji grumbled while dodging the incoming attacks from the hybrid creature.

"Money on the table says that it's because of that time you melted our pipes." Bucky said while firing on said creature.

"Look: it was acidic, it melted away at the debris in the streets, and I thought that we could dilute it so that it could work." The chef grumbled while he kicked large rocks towards the foe that was blocking all of them.

"YOU MADE IT A 50/50 MIX!" Jason screamed, "You're lucky that Gwen girl is good at UNO, or whatever, because we would have been screwed otherwise. I happen to like taking a shower without the base flooding, thank you very much."

"Legally, it would be considered an 'escape of water.'"

"I thought that was what you just told insurance companies so that you could get the money to repair it, right?" Bucky asked.

"Doesn't matter. Why the hell aren't they picking up?" Sanji asked, "We found another one, and we could use the backup."

"Hey, speaking of backup, does anyone find it weird that these guys never attack in groups?" Jason pointed out, "The Xeno-Necro or whatever we called them attacked in groups, so why don't these things?"

"No clue. Maybe they don't like sharing?" Sanji asked.

"Let's figure that part out later!" Bucky said as he was clinging onto the mouth of the large beast, "Jason! I need explosives!"

"On it!" The Red Hood flung his bag of explosives at the Winter Soldier who managed to catch them and fling them into the mouth of the beast before jumping to cover.

"Get ready, and… NOW!"

*BOOM!*

The carcass of the monster fell down and the three went to investigate. Of course, Sanji brought along a knife to cut off some of the body.

"Dude."

"What?- They're tasty, and-" Sanji took a bite before spitting it out, "Ugh… I guess the big ones aren't.

"So what?- It's just filler or something?"

"It's just… Bland." Sanji grumbled, "You'd have to drown this thing in spices to make it taste good."

"And the smaller ones were so much better?" Jason asked.

"Yes!" Sanji said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, "It actually had flavor. Now all we have is this carcass that'll just attract bugs and rats."

"Gross."

"Well, the wings should still be good for some chip making. Help me out here."

"Wait, was the entire reason you wanted backup was so that we could haul this thing back to base for you to cook?" Jason snarled.

"Why else would we need backup?"

"Ugh… Well, we should see about helping Zuko and his team." Bucky stated, "If they're having half as many issues with a small one that's faster than what we just took on, then we definitely should go help them."

"Ooh. A small one. Now those are tasty. Even when eaten raw."
