"A Mr. Witness is tracking a new drug craze in Weston and wants someone to watch his back. I figured since you're in the area and you already took down one drug syndicate whats one more?"

"Taking out drug dealers? I'll be there, boss man. You can count on it. Wait, syndicate? I thought I just took out one dealer. Was he supplying a whole bunch of other guys, too?"

"He was the main supplier, well the only one as he was getting the drugs from his veins, but he had a number of dealers and runners throughout the city. Drugs are not a one man operation not if you want to make real money."

Ozzy whistled, "I knew I saw the bucket of blood, but damn... Anyway, I'll be more than happy to help. When and where should I meet Mr. Witness?"

"He wants you to meet him at 830 at an abandoned schoolbuilding scheduled for demolition. Its on the seedy side of town. [<Insert address here>"

"Ill be there. 20:30 at (address). Got it."

"Very good enjoy the rest of your evening"

Text message to the Legacy (Hunter, Mirage)

Sorry to disturb everyone. Someone just tried to take a potshot at me at the dojo. The shooter got away but they intentionally left a note.

"Your weaknesses have been exposed, your Achilles' heel revealed. The end game is set. To find me, you must return...TO WHERE IT ALL BEGAN.."

Any idea as to what this could mean? Let me know when you can.

{Text to Mirage, Lady Psyche, Hunter, and Stormwalker}

I may have figured it out. Whoever is calling us out is at Above And Beyond. Where it all began. I"m headed there now. If you can, meet me there and we'll find this person who's been playing with us.

  {{Ozzy.  What have you been doing?}}

{{I was watching Mr. Witness's back, like I was supposed to for my job tonight, when a fight fell in my lap. Apparently there's a new 'drug' out there that's some kind of mutagen. And, well... let's just say you're not the only one in our group who's tall, dark, and scary anymore. The mutants that the drug makes can 'spread' it, and I took a hit. I'm about nine feet tall now, which is REALLY weird, with wiry muscles, wings, and a scorpion tail dripping mutagenic 'venom'.}}

  {{Grascious.  Now you know how it feels to have it sort of bite you in the tail.  You going to be okay?}}

{{Heh. I used to be human like you. Then I took a mutagen-laced bone dart to the knee. But... I dunno. I dunno so much about this. This might or might not be permanent, I don't know. Right now, though, it mostly hinges on Clarissa's reaction. I can understand if this form creeps her out a bit, but I at least need a shoulder to lean on, yeah? Just... wish me luck, bro.}}

  {{Let me know if you need my shoulder.  I know all too well how it feels.  I wish you good luck.}}

[Thanks... And, well, at least I'm still recognizable. Megs didn't flip when she saw me, at least. But now the big one...]

  {{Megs gets her unflappable streak from her Mom.  She could TRACK you by scent, so I imagine you probably are identifiable by scent, still.}}

{{Hmm... prolly. And to answer your earlier question? Yeah. It's gonna be okay. Even if I'm stuck this way. Clarissa never ceases to amaze me, man. I am a lucky, lucky dude.}}

  The clear sensation of amusement came through, and he said {{Gives you a whole new appreciation for how much Vic means to me, doesn't it, my friend?  Believe me, you have a gem for a girl in Clarissa if she's not freaking.}}

{{Yeah. She's the one, man. I'm more sure now than I ever have been. And, ah... I'mma let you go, okay? Later.}}

To all upon the worm-net:

{{You are hereby cordially invited to the rather impromptu wedding of Clarissa Clemmons and Ozzy Gysbourne. We'll be getting married at Weston Hospital as soon as we can track down a dress and a justice of the peace. Come as you are, and sorry for the short notice! Also, if you can think of anyone who's not wormed that would want to come, give them a call!}}

  {{Ozzy.  We're coming, Mom and I, and she said SHE would handle a dress for Clarissa.  So, come as you are, to quote Nirvana.}}

{{Sweet! Thanks, Meggers! And tell your Mom thanks, too! That saves us the effort of looking for a backless dress. We're at the courthouse now... I can't believe it, I'm getting MARRIED!}}

  Meg's crystalline laughter echoed in his head. {{And I am delighted to see it happening to you, Ozzy.  Mom ALSO says she'll handle YOUR tux.}}

{{I know I need one. Heh, I've been wearing paint-clothes all day. The hours at Akbar's Really Really Big and Tall are a bitch, you know?}}

  {{Oh good heavens!  Oh, and Mom says you and Tats are GOING to be putting up with another Dragon.  So you're warned?}}
