Chapter Six.
With the press of a single button, the chemical dispersal charges strategically placed throughout the city were detonated, spreading the antidote in all directions. The non airborne antidote was then introduced into the city's water supply.
"There, that should do it." Tech said after emptying the vial into the reservoir.
"And now that that's taken care of, I think it's only fitting we pay doc Graves a little visit." Ace said.
"Agreed. There's no telling how many nasty little surprises he could've smuggled into prison with him." Tech said.
With that, they were off once again. After making absolutely certain that Graves didn't have any other tricks up his sleeves, the Loonatics returned to the tower.
"All and all, a pretty slow day I'd say." Ace said as they got settled in.
"A complete societal breakdown occurred today, you call that slow?" Tech asked.
"Well it wasn't exactly a day at the opera. But still, all we did in the way of action was plantin' charges all over the city. There wasn't even a deadline. We had plenty of time thanks to that Mellow ray thing you made." Ace said. "When's that gonna start wearin' off anyway?" He asked.
"Right about now I'd say." Tech replied.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the city of Acmetropolis, Danger and Lexi were slowly waking from their concrete nap to find themselves surrounded once again. This time, by a small crowd of curious spectators. Some of whom were taking pictures. Danger quickly quacked them away from the crowd and onto the roof of a nearby building.
"You ok?" Danger asked. "From all the fighting I mean." He clarified.
"Yeah. A little stiff, but otherwise fine." Lex replied. "And you?" She asked.
"Same here." Danger replied. He then paused and took a look down at the streets below.
"Looks like the city is more or less back to normal right about now. Maybe we can actually get back to the tower." He said.
"I guess..." Lex said. "But before we go, I'd like to ask... Did you really mean all that stuff about maybe loving me and not being able to imagine us not being together? Or was it just that weird energy wave thing that hit us talking." She asked.
"Well, I can't exactly say I was completely myself when I said it, but that is how I feel. Whatever that was just made it easier to say it." Danger said. "Can I assume the same is true for you?" He asked.
"You can." Lex replied. "And it is." She added after drawing a bit closer.
"Then I guess we're still in maybe love." Danger said as he too drew closer.
"Maybe." Lex said as they closed the remaining gap between them.
With that they kissed, their silhouettes highlighted by the moonlit sky.
(A.N) Well, that's it for Chemical Rage. In case anyone was wondering why the Loonatics weren't affected by the rage formula, it's because their systems aren't normal thanks to their mutation. Or something like that.
On a separate note, I'd like to thank all my reviewers. Tears of Eternal Darkness, Ryeish, revrunner, Honey Bear, Serb, and ken.

(Additional Note) The very end of this story was briefly altered. But I quickly changed it back. Written below is the alternate line.
("Maybe." Lex said. They closed the remaining gap between them. "Maybe a little more than maybe." She added. Then they kissed, their silhouettes highlighted by the moonlit sky.)
