SWIFT:
Swift, having a free few minutes on her hands, will take a quick run around Africa, just to make sure the animals aren't, you know, gathered around the corner or something.
No, there aren't any animals hidden away somewhere.
There is a robbery going on in Nairobi, though. Taking away their guns is one thing, but Swift has trouble moving the bulky robbers to the police station. Fortunately, the nearby airport has a luggage dolly they're not using this second!
SWIFT: A brilliant use of a luggage dolly! (I put them back of course.)
Then I head back to give Hawkgirl my report (No hidden animals) and ask her what she found out.
HAWKGIRL: "Wow. Hey. The scanner shows that the gorilla is scouting for King Solovar. He's intelligent and is scouting. He's supposed to report back why all the animals are acting strangely, but he's caught up in the paradise of it all. But someone's controlling him. Someone with a weird speech pattern. Jack thinks it's probably Bizarro. He wants the animals to, ah, flourish and multiply because when he tries to make animals from scratch it doesn't turn out so well. All this loveliness is supposed to encourage that."
She clears her throat as her blush subsides.
"Bizarro is supposed to be pretty easy to trick, and that's how he is usually defeated."
Swift blinks and, when she figures out what was said, blushes so fast that its over before anyone sees it.
ReplyDelete"Does this gorilla know where the other animals are?"
"I don't think so. That was he was sent for. But I'll double-check... and maybe he's got some other lead."
ReplyDeleteShe scans the gorilla with the gun again. Gently.
