Titans Tower battle: First sub-level.

Kon looks down onto where Parasite landed, the dust settling around him, sparks popping where the electrical main running through the collapsed floor was severed.

"Crap," he mutters, "Vic's gonna kick my ass."

Then the wall comes to life behind him, snapping like a wet towel, sending him stumbling into the hole created by Parasite's body. He swings his arms, trying to maintain balance, trying to kick in his flight, trying something that won't send him careening into Parasite's deadly, draining grip again.

No avail. He falls, cursing the whole way, trying to twist his body so that his feet come down on Parasite.

Maybe I'll at least make him bite his freaking tongue, Kon thinks blackly. I am so screwed without a little backup here. Wait. Backup. Like the backup that should be chilling in my room.

When he lands, Kon brings two fingers to his lips, and whistles.
