Part 4.

"Don't be foolish, you have no chance," Lexine said as she stretched her winged arms and let out a pleasant sigh as she felt her body course with energy.

"I always thougt of myself as a daredevil," Charlie glared, snapping her pincers threateningly. This had very little effect on Lexine, who took a step forwards instead, smiling with confidence.

"Charlie, my dear, sweet scorpion. Don't you remember those countless training sessions?" Lexine purred, leaning forwards while resting her hands on her knees, as if speaking to a little child, her chest sticking out between her arms as if she was flaunting her big breasts at her. "You tore through heavily armored robots with ease; have you not any idea of what someone with even greater strength can do to you?" for emphasis, she rose back up and balled one of her claws into a fist, flexing one of her feminine biceps.

Charlie snarled, "Is that your idea of a big bad threat? Boooooring!"

"Please, dear. We don't have to be enemies."

"We don't. But I don't have much of a choice!"

Lexine sighed, smiling arrogantly while holding two of fingers on her forehead in the most deferent manner ever. "You always struck to me as one with little imagination."

"Oh that is IT!" Charlie growled as she gave Lexine a death stare, then suddenly jumped several feet vertically, then after a flip she kicked the ceiling and launched herself at the giant bat woman, attempting to topple her over. Lexine quickly reacted though and stepped to the side, spreading her right wing. Charlie widened her eyes, but wasn't able to change direction. Lexine smirked, using the thin yet incredibly resilent membrane as a net, bouncing Charlie back at the ceiling.

Fortunately, Charlie reacted fast enough to stop herself against the ceiling without impacting. "Damnit, that's cheating!"

Lexine looked up with a silent smile. Charlie's blood was boiling over. "If I can't get her from a long range attack then..." she crawled along the ceiling, then bounced and feigned a drop attack. Lexine attempted to catch her again, but Charlie flipped in mid-air and dropped even faster. That split second of opportunity was all Charlie needed to pull her arm back upon landing and throwing her fist with all her might at Lexine's stomach. "Got her...!" she thought, obviously only wanting to knock the wind out of Lexine to make her more manageable.

What Charlie did not count on was that the lean muscled bat's abdomen would return the force of her punch, acting like a super strong wall that it pretty much was. Surprised, but unharmed, Lexine just leaned down, covering Charlie's face with her large bosom. "You got me to double over. Congatulations," she teased. Charlie, humiliated, lashed out with a flurry of punches, each one with decreased force and impact, yet it all the same hurt her.

"Damn you, overgrown, fat, bat!" Charlie shouted, each punch slightly pushing the large bat farther and farther behind, but Charlie was getting exhausted very quick. Eventually, Lexine found this to be a bother.

"I'm not fat," the bat merely said, kicking Charlie as if she was hitting a football, sending her flying at the wall. This time however, Charlie anticipated the blow and cushioned herself with her arms. The impact still sent her flying, but she managed to spin around in mid-air to stabilize and stick to the wall. The surface cracked at her landing, but Charlie was safe, although she was wiggling her hands rapidly.

"Oww, oww, ow ow ow! What are you made of?! Titanium?!" Charlie whimpered, blowing on her pulsing hands.

"Just slightly stronger material than you, I would say," Lexine casually related as she dusted her abs off, nearly causing Charlie to pop a vein from the insult.

"Alright, smart lady, kid gloves are off!" Charlie snarled, her cheek pouches showing her thick mandibles that snapped in front of her face, her tail whipping at the air angrily as her pincers brandished together against each other.

Lexine smiled, "Oh, is that a threat?"

Charlie leapt down at the floor and began a dash that would've put a jungle cat to shame. Then she began to skip around in erratic zig zag patterns that even Lexine had trouble to keep track of. Used to battle, Charlie had the advantage of experience, and while Lexine didn't move, she could at least buy time until she could find a weakness in the massive bat.

Before Lexine could do anything else, Charlie had turned into a bouncing blur that just wouldn't give her a chance to counter. "Is this sheer bravado? Or have you lost all hope, and your mind in the process, Charlie?"

Charlie said nothing this time. "If she's an inamovable object, then just wait until it moves on its own and then..." at one point, Lexine turned to seek Charlie behind her, but just as she did, "Hiiiiiiyah!" the scorpion dove down, snapping her mandibles and pincers around Lexine's leg. With Charlie's strength and Lexine being caught off guard, the 9ft tall female lost balance and her weight brought her crashing down with a big thud. "How'd you like that, huh?!" she panted, then quickly jumped on top of Lexine, pressing her down with all her might. "Bat got your tongue?!"

"Nnnghh..."

"Can't hear youuu. Oh maybe that's a good thing, I was getting tired of your self-righteous chat."

"Grrrr..."

"And all those quips about you being superior? Well hah! I'm on top now, in your face! Well, on your fat butt!"

Lexine was growling loudly by now, her fur vibrating, telling Charlie something bad was about to happen. Lexine's eyes opened, turning scarlet red as she suddenly erupted with anger, batting Charlie off her as she raised to her knees and arms, letting out a fierce shriek.

"Gah!" Charlie gasped, hitting the ceiling, although her tail instinctively reached for and pierced the surface, keeping herself aloft. "Okay, I might've overdone it with that last one."

Lexine rose up, her wings spreading before she hunched over and let out an even louder shriek. It felt like something natural to do for her, but after the third one, even Charlie started to feel a bit wary.

Sirey, who had been at the cabinet, shrieked in choir, followed by the man bat in the cage. It was rattling, the male was restless even though it was supposed to sleep.

"Hey, stop insulting me in bat, I can't understand a thing!" Charlie growled in annoyance, still hanging from the ceiling by her tail. She watched the man bat start to punch and kick against the cage attempting to free himself. Charlie looked his way and widened her eyes in horror as the restraining metal began to bend, "He could've gotten out of there the entire time...?!" she gasped, then turned in surprise as she began to hear banging nearby. It was the other subjects that were clawing at and punching, kicking, and struggling against the window, trying to get out! And the louder Lexine shrieked, the more violent they grew!

"Oh shit...!" Charlie gasped.



Clark and Ralph were walking down the halls by Dr. Masters's office while talking about boring patrol shifts. "Swear the only time we ever get to do anything interesting is when we gotta fix the damn security drones breaking down."

"I hear ya," grumbled Ralph, but then he stopped, "Wait, I hear something else. You hear that?" Clark stopped as well and tried to make out the out-of-place sound, until he finally realized it was coming from the office they had just passed.

They began to approach the door when suddenly it came apart with what looked to them a giant bug with breasts kicking it open. Startled, they readied their guns and pointed at the creature. "Freeze!" Ralph shouted.

"Wait, I'm not a-" Charlie put her hands up defensively, but didn't get time to explain that the rest of the entrance clogged with her pursuiters and finally gave way as they all pushed with great force until Dr. Master's room burst into concrete debris, as if a balloon full of monsters had just popped. "Oh crap!" she gasped, ducking as a straight line of bat men and women began to fly out, shrieking and screaming wildly. Most of them smashed into walls or the ceiling, but those that didn't quickly turned as they saw Charlie on the floor and the other two security guards.

"Jumping hairy monkey balls, what the hell?!" Clark yelped, startled at the new creatures, his gun now pointed at a quickly bat woman. "Get away from me or I'll shoot, I'll- AHHH!" he screamed. Not having the time to react, the bat woman pounced him and began biting the arm holding his weapon.

"Damn it, they're attacking indiscriminately. But why?!" Charlie cursed herself, then reminded herself of the banshee like scream Lexine had emitted, "No!" she growled, then jumped towards the helpless security guard. "HEY, you!" she shouted to the bat woman biting Clark, "BITE THIS!" she swung her arm, whacking the mutant in the face just after Charlie had gotten her attention. The bat woman was sent flying into a wall, and effectively off Clark. "Hey, you alright?!"

Clark moaned in pain, his forearm was bleeding. "Y-yeah, thanks. Who... what are you? What are these things?"

"GAH!" Ralph cried as he fired his gun to keep the creatures back, narrowly avoiding the great amount of bats pursuing him, barely making it to Charlie and Clark. "Shit, just shit! Those things were trying to eat me!" he panted, holding by his chest, "God damnit, what's going on here?! Answer me!" he demanded, holding Charlie down at gunpoint.

Charlie turned her head with a flat stare, "Look, we can stay here and play twenty questions and get eaten by giant winged rats, or we can high tail it out of here and get everyone out of this building!"

Ralph looked behind him, the erratically bouncing and flying bats starting to gather for another assault. "Grrr, fine, let's go then!"

"I'm not going with you. You should alert everyone, get everybody out!"

Ralph groaned, "W-we can't just let you..."

Clark got back up to his feet, holding by his wounded arm, "We don't have much choice in the matter do we?"

Charlie shook her head, but then gasped as she saw the towering Lexine push out of the building, her eyes still red. She locked onto the two humans and the scorpion and snarled, then furiously shrieked again. Every bat locked onto them at once.

"Damnit, she's controlling them!" Charlie deduced, then looked back at the scared security guards. "Just go! I'll hold them off, get everyone to safety!" she ordered.

"But!"

Fed up with being questioned, Charlie suddenly hissed and flashed her mandibles at them, snapping them violently. The two promptly scampered.

"I'm alright with security drone maintenance, Clark!"

"Me too, let's get the fuck out of here!"

The two then finally began to run as fast as they could. Meanwhile, Charlie turned to the bats and stomped the floor threateningly, balling her hands into fists, "You won't get past here!"

Lexine held her claw out, and suddenly three bats rushed Charlie. The scorpion ducked the first, "They're strong and fast, but not very smart!" she thought, jumping over a second. Lexine shrieked again, and the third, which Charlie was about to slug in the face, stopped mid track and spun around, kicking the unaware scorpion girl on her side, knocking the wind out of her. "Ugh! I thought they weren't smart..." she coughed, making a quick recovery before the other two flew back at her at Lexine's shriek and double kicked her in the back, sending her toppling to the floor.

"Fuck!" Charlie groaned, her protective armor having absorbed most of the impact, but she was getting battered. "What the hell? They're coordinating attacks now...?" she gasped, getting quickly up to her feet. This time, she looked at Lexine, who was glaring at her. Charlie widened her eyes as Lexine shrieked again, then she looked as two of the snarling bats in her group suddenly launched themselves at her. "She's controlling them?!"

Expecting a more cunning pair of opponents now, Charlie carefully planned her evasive maneuver, and promptly countered both bats with twin sucker punches. After Charlie had deflected them, Lexine shrieked again and the other three bats jumped back on her. Charlie ducked just in time and rolled away, then got up and spun around, whipping one into the other two with her strong tail. "She makes them work together. Before they were just randomly attacking whoever was next to them, now they have tactic... It's got to be Lexine!" she deduced.

"It has to be the way Lexine's shrieking!" Charlie thought, glaring at the snarling group, then at Lexine, who was coordinating them. "I have to get them away from her!"

Charlie grunted, knowing if Lexine kept sending combined attacks they would wear her down. She had to fight them elsewhere, somewhere she could separate them from Lexine! After a quick thought, Charlie came up with a plan.

"Alright Lexy, you're mad and you want a piece of me huh? Well, send your freaks after me! I'll take them out one by one!" she yelled. Lexine growled in response and pointed her way, screaming once more. The bats started to swarm Charlie, but she quickly backflipped away from the group, "You're too slow! You can't touch this!" after taunting them, Charlie began to dash away from them.

"Please tell me they evacuated, please tell me they evacuated..." Charlie silently begged in her mind, running as fast as her legs would carry her. Eventually, she made it to the agency, and sure enough it was deserted. "They probably got every non-combatant out and are blocking exits... good!" she smiled to herself; finally it seemed she was going to get a lucky break.

Charlie jumped to the booths and skipped along the desks, stopping only to continue to goad and taunt the incoming bats, with Lexine flying at the back lines. Charlie continued on, heading down the halls to her destination. "I just gotta get them to the warehouse! Lexine's so angry she won't notice!"

The scorpion continued to run from the fliers, getting a good break when they got back into the enclosed hallway. "They're fast, but I'm even faster!" she gladly told herself, bouncing off of the floor and onto a wall, then onto the ceiling, alternating running and surface-crawling at top-speed every time a bat would launch themself at her. "They need to be about 20 feet near Lexine, or else they won't get her commands. This is working out for me!"

Relieved, she jumped into the room at the end of the corridor which was full of computers and then quickly began to input commands. "Work work work!" fortunately, as an interpol agent, Charlie had been taught all she needed to know to operate any system at least on a basic level. Setting off the training program for the warehouse simulation wasn't trouble for her. "I gotta time this just right...!"

Just as she was finishing, the combined shriek symphony of the mutant people and their leader made her groan. "More bat talk, goddamnit it feels like I'm fighting monsters! Is this what Lexine wanted for the world?!" she growled, cursing herself for having trusted the mad scientist. As they all crashed through the entrance, destroying it in the process, Charlie quickly launched herself through the windows of the observation room, promping them to follow them.

Charlie landed into the active warehouse under a rain of shattered glass, the place looking exactly as it always did. "I should have the advantage here, I can't waste this chance!"

As the bats and Lexine flew in, they all surrounded Charlie, creating an aerial circle with Lexine hovering at the center. It seemed the amazon bat woman had finally come to her senses after the long pursuit. She looked down on Charlie, "You're good at running away."

"Oh please, you're making me blush!" Charlie replied, glaring. "You're sure acting like a big shot when you're just having all your mindless puppets charge me like rabid dogs!"

"Do you not understand? They're my children," Lexine grinned, "And they don't want their mother getting hurt. You should be more understanding."

"Okay, you're officially creeping ME out now!" Charlie pointed at Lexine as if to make it clear.

Lexine merely laughed, "Dear Charlie, why do you have to be so shallow, so unable to comprehend what's going on here? Do you not see it? I have developed an unforeseen ability."

"You're a puppeteer, congratulations! If the whole New World thing doesn't work out, you won't have to worry about going hungry huh?!"

"My children listen to my calls, and all it took was you giving a little... push, for me to discover it." Lexine smiled, perching herself atop a container, squatting down on her massive, long womanly legs, "You keep giving me, Charlie. I think it's time that I return some of it."

"Oh good, your gifts have all sucked until now!" Charlie yelled angrily, but it was a ruse. The idle banter was no more than her strategy to buy time as the startup program finished scanning the room and began to deploy robots to start the session.

Lexine was about to give out a command, when suddenly one of her man bats passed by in front of her, flying into a container. Every pair of eyes and ears focused on the Brawler unit recalling its stretchy metal arm. The open doors showed countless more units, and other doors were already opening to show Wheelers as well.

Charlie smiled "Cavalry's here."

Lexine growled down at Charlie, "Clever, but I was part of the designing team. I know the override code!" she leapt off her perch to avoid another flying fist. Since Lexine was the largest in the warehouse, the robots were mostly going at her.

Charlie had her own problems with a few Wheelers trying to saw her in half, but she was mostly evading them as the rest of the robots engaged into battle with the rest of the bats. Charlie had to pay attention to Lexine's moves, hoping she would do what she needed her to.

Beating her powerful wings, Lexine hurriedly made it to the observation room, casually smashing through every Wheeler that jumped in her way, careful not to get hurt with their blades of course. Charlie, silently praising herself, flipped away from combat after having kicked the Wheeler's head off and quickly leapt onto a container, then kicked off to the underside of the observation room Lexine had already entered. With every bat and bot busy fighting each other, Charlie merely had to crawl inside after the bat woman.

"Worry not my children, I won't let you come to harm..." Lexine said, carefully typing the override code to stop the session, having a bit of trouble thanks to her much larger fingers. Charlie couldn't have asked for a better distraction as she pulled the lockdown handle and ripped it off. Lexine heard the short-circuit created from the damaged handle and shrieked at Charlie, knowing full well what she had done.

Even though Lexine had succeeded in stopping the robots, Charlie had just sealed both of them inside the observation room. Every window had been blocked with indestructible walling, which even Lexine could not break.

Charlie smiled beneath her mask, proud of herself. Lexine turned, genuinely angry with the smug attitude. "You think yourself smart?! You've just given me every advantage I could get to finish you!" she growled, charging at Charlie, who bounced over Lexine.

"I don't think I'm smart but... oooh!" Charlie winced with false pity as the blindly enraged Lexine crashed against the equipment, shorting the connections which caused every lightbulb in the room to burst. Now they were in the dark. "That had to hurt!" she grinned, making her best impression of a football commenter.

Lexine, still seething with anger, got back up to her feet, panting. She had been patient so far, "But I have the advantage now," she thought. Even though she didn't have night vision, Lexine had something even better at her disposal. She emitted a high pitched sound that Charlie's ears could not pick up. In Lexine's eyes, an ultrasonic wave became visible through the darkness, and it hit every object in the room, mapping it for her. She silently clicked again, discerning every object in the dark room, finally perfecting her image of Charlie, who seemed to be moving in for a stealth attack. Without saying anything, she waited.

Charlie, careful to be as silent as possible, attempted to pounce Lexine, hoping to overpower her while she was seemingly distracted by her surroundings. It came as a surprise to her when her silent jump was interrupted by Lexine seized Charlie by the neck with ease. As if she had been expecting her. "Gak!" Charlie grunted, kicking the air as Lexine gripped her by the neck. "Damnit...! Nnngh!"

"I did tell you to research bats in the facility's computer. Echolocation is one of the first few things you could've learned," Lexine grinned, then suddenly and with all her pent up rage drove Charlie down into the floor, smashing her body with the impact of a giant boulder breaking the tiled floor to pieces, even the thick conduits underneath broke off. With the power knocked out, Lexine had no fear of getting them electrocuted.

"Screw you!" Charlie groaned, pain shooting up her back, making her writhe in Lexine's grip. But Lexine didn't want to choke her, she grabbed her around the waist, and smashed her again against the metal conduits, a wicked grin with which she flashed her fangs forming in Lexine's face.

"My my, that's no language for someone so pretty," Lexine smirked, "Charlie, Charlie, oh why do you oppose me so?" she purred, smashing her again, making Charlie groan, "You could stand by my side as I cleanse this world of the human virus. Don't you understand? I love you. I want you to be mine."

"I'm not some... gak!" Charlie coughed, feeling her ribcage in pain, "Not some object...!"

"But you are the object of my desire, and you're the one responsible for my dream to come true. You'd be the most valuable soldier in our cause..." the giant bat purred happily, rising the weakened scorpion up to her face. She licked her with her long tongue, "I don't want you existing for any other cause. You're mine, and if I you continue opposing me, I will destroy you," she gave her a wicked grin, starting to clutch hard with both claws, making Charlie arch back and scream.

"Gyyyyaaaaaahhh!" she shrieked, "F-fuck you! You can't force people to think like you, and that includes ME!" Charlie screamed, "I will never love or stand by someone like that, you hear me?! And I WILL stop you!"

"Hmm, Charlie, Charlie. You are a disappointment," Lexine shook her head, genuinely sad. The abusive bat woman brought Charlie back, "Maybe if I smash you convincingly enough..." she grinned.

Charlie felt every muscle in her body aching with pain, she was at her limit. No training had prepared her to fight someone as powerful as this, but it was better to be finished off than to become subservient to the megalomaniac Lexine had become. But no matter how hard she struggled with her arms and feet, she couldn't break free of the bat girl's grip.

Lexine, convinced Charlie was going to cave in eventually, smashed her against the crater she was making on the ground again, but this time, the conduits had had enough abuse. Charlie would not break thanks to her super resilence, but as the hollow tube did, the sheer force of the impact caused the metal to vibrate with such intensity that it produced a very high pitched sound. The frequency went so high that it hit Lexine's hyper developed ears, causing her vision to blur and her balance to be lost.

Charlie felt this in the grip and exerted herself until she could free herself. Lexine screamed, holding by her head, "Ahhhhh!" she screamed louder, "M-make it stop!" she begged, backing into a wall. She had accidentally set off a super high ultrasonic wave that, in the locked down room, had no way out, so it bounced and continuously amplified itself.

The scorpion girl heard the sound coming from the broken metal pipe as she tiredly got up to her feet. "S-so..." she panted, "You don't like that, do you?" she growled, taking the moment Lexine was incapacitated to dig her hands into the ground and ripped up one of the other tubes.

Charlie smashed the pipes together with all her strength. A human would not have been able to pull it off, but her strength enabled the impact she caused to make the metal vibrate at such frequency that the ultrasound repeated. Charlie groaned as the sound she could hear was like when the cap of a sauce pan hits its edge against a hard surface and causes it to go off like a church bell. To Lexine, this was like having two knives inserted into her ears and repeatedly stabbed in and out.

"GAHHH! AHHH!!" Lexine cried louder, Charlie continued to smash the pipe, hurting her ears in the process, but causing even greater pain to the giant bat woman.

"Having a..." Charlie panted, "Good time?!" the scorpion hit the pipes together harder, faster, each time creating such racket that Lexine was convinced her head was going to blow up if anymore pressure was applied. "Echolocate THIS!" the heroine shouted, smashing the pipes to bits, proceeding to scream herself as the ultrasound went into dangerous levels even for her own ears.

Unable to bear it any longer, a disoriented, enraged, and agonizing Lexine suddenly launched herself up and smashed through the ceiling, creating a hole that went to the upper floor. Pain, pain and more pain was the only thing in Lexine's mind. She shrieked her loudest for the day, causing the bats inside the training room to hear it from the upper floor. She kept smashing ceiling after ceiling in her disorientation. "I HAVE TO GET AWAY!" was the priority in Lexine's stunned brain. Story after story she flew up through, closely followed by the acrobatic Charlie using the falling debris as platforms. Eventually joined by her small legion of mutant bats as well, Lexine hit the final ceiling and broke out of the building.

With tears of pain and the stinging feeling of what she thought was Charlie's betrayal running out of her scarlet red eyes, Lexine sadly whimpered, "Why would you not love me back...? Why can you not understand, this world must be fixed!!" she screamed down, her shriek causing all of her followers to stir and fly around her, as if representing her convulted emotions. "I am the Omega, Charlie, I will end this world, it will begin anew, do you hear me?!" she shouted down at the building, "I WILL BEGIN IT ANEW!" with that, she began to fly away, disoriented and weak but with enough strength to make her escape with her followers trailing behind her.

Charlie, weak, and unable to pursuit, finally fell down on her butt. Her faceguard slid off and she panted, still feeling a ringing in her head. "Fucking... drama queen..." she said before passing out.



Moments later, the disturbance had been tended to by the facility's security team, and while they had not expected a vertical escape, they were quick to surround the unconscious Charlie. A mended Clark and Ralph were there as well. "What is... who is this?" the captain asked, looking down at the sleeping scorpion.

"She's the one!" Clark called out, "Captain, she was inside Dr. Masters's lab when the monsters came out."

"She's the only one that looked different," Ralph added, "And while she's scary as hell, she's got great knockers-" he looked down at Charlie's rising and lowering chest as she breathed, "I uh, I mean, she kind of saved our asses and bought us time to escape."

"Noted. She still is a suspect in Dr. Masters's disappearance, so I will be taking her into custody myself" the captain said, looking at Charlie. "Agent Charlotte Richards, this will be hard to explain to your superior," he thought to himself. Most of his goons had no idea who this mutant was, but as chief of security for this organization was aware of Interpol's undercover agent sent for testing. "What happened between you and Dr. Masters...?"



Charlie blinked her black eyes open and nearly blinded herself to the bright ceiling light of an illuminated room. She was lying in a comfortable bed and could recognize the surroundings. Still, Charlie couldn't help but ask: "Where...?"

And she was dutifully interrupted by the captain, "Back at your quarters, Agent Richards."

"Captain Rogers..." Charlie sat up on the bed, wincing a bit, holding by her stomach, "Oww..."

"Relax. The medical team says you took quite the beating. They found your ear drums nearly ruptured as well, so you might want to skip on using earphones or anything like that while kicking back," the captain chuckled. Charlie rested back against the bed, she was under covers.

"What happened to Lexine?" Charlie disgruntingly asked, holding an arm over her wounded front.

"I suspected as much. The large bat-like creature those two reported seeing, the one leading that horde that flew out of the building. Was that Dr. Lexine Masters?"

Charlie silently nodded. Rogers sighed. "I think I want to hear this story."

With a deep, sad sigh, Charlie began relating that morning's events to the Captain. It took him a while to process to the information, and for Charlie to come to terms with what she had lived through in the span of less than six hours, how much she had learned about herself and how Pierre's words for her kept making a comeback in her memory.

She had power, a lot of it, but that did not mean she had to abuse it. Charlie was capable of many fantastic things, and thanks to her blood, now Lexine was capable of even more chaos and destruction than herself.

Charlie looked up at the ceiling, blankly staring as Rogers made some calls. Had Lexine's feelings for her been pure, or was her obsession with her dream the only thing tying them together? Charlie did not have the answer to that. All she knew was that Lexine was now dangerously unstable and would soon become a threat to every human in the world. She had to be stopped.

"I will stop you myself, Lexy," Charlie's eyes narrowed. "Just you wait."

The End.
