Way to go Kickman! A hero’s work is never done. Way to take one for the team! In fact, you have two days to power up Angelina, maybe take 6 or 7 for the team. 8 or 9? How about a tenth?
“I’m not a machine, woman!”
There’s got to be a careful balance here. After all, Kickman can’t expend ALL his energy on Angelina and not have anything left to kick with during the battle. Grayhawk should probably generate a chart and a schedule.
I had more dialog planned for this page, but decided to whittle it down. Angelina probably isn’t the best at expressing her feelings. The original text she was going to go off on how she wouldn’t be able to live with herself if she was not there and would never know if she could have done something to save him. But, I figure shoving Kickman against the wall is a better way of emoting that.
So, it looks like it will be “Three Against Doomsday!” Four if Lady Crane disobeys orders. Again. Five if Elizabeth St. Augustine shows up. Well, let’s just roll into the next page and see what happens. Oh, wait, you can’t. You have to wait a week. Sorry.
That whole “not having sex before a fight” thing is real, but it has nothing to do with fatigue. Studies show sexual satiation reduces competitive desire! So what Kickman needs to do is not “take 1 (or however many) for the team”, but find a bunch of other somebodies to do it….
Violates the marriage contract, with all sorts of negative stuff happening.
Besides, Jay isn’t fighting to be competitive this time. He’s doing it to vent some rage.
Well if SHE cheats, she loses her powers completely. At least according to the contract. What is somewhat unclear is who exactly enforces this contract, is it heavenly forces or demonic? With a “castration by jellyfish” clause I would assume the demons. But the marriage ceremony was performed by a nun, who actually can’t perform a Catholic wedding ceremony. Obviously, there is some force enforcing the contract because once the wedding was sealed with a kiss all of the demonic energy Angelina had accumulated went away.
Is it cheating if they have an open marriage?
Maybe it’s if she BELIEVES she’s cheating?
Time to become a Mormon!
Wait… can Mormon women have more than one husband?
No. And Mormon men are only allowed one wife. Strictly speaking they aren’t allowed to divorce either or ever remarry if a widow(er).
” And Mormon men are only allowed one wife.”
NOW! 1870? Not so much.
Oh man, soooo many horrendous lines come to mind.
‘Hey baby, are you a Gatorade, cause you power me up?’
‘hey baby, are you a Mario block? Cause when I pound on you and have a mushroom, I get bigger’?
Nope. Self-censorship mode being activated…
Though if Grayhawk is really clinical about it, he should probably suggest infidelity to maximise overall team strength.
Just don’t power her up to the point she gets a second set of teeth…..
@matt, my one request- please DON’T do a powering up montage.
It’s bad enough that Kickman says that they are coming together.
I’ll leave that for the Kickman fanfic…
