"By now, you two are beginning to realize that these ropes somehow prevent you from using your powers, and you must be thinking to yourself, how does he know our weakness?" Typhoid began taunting. "Think back... think really hard. Is there a period you can't account for two years ago? Ha ha! Is it coming back yet? I didn't think it would, but WE learned a lot from you two. Sadly, we won't need it after today."

Dylflon reached again for the knife he kept so dear to him. He walked up besides Fox, "One thing I've been curious about is how much pain can your body mask?" He drove the knife into his shoulder blade. A slither of skin came off and dissolved on the ground. "Did that hurt at all?" Dylflon watched as the skin covered itself back up. "Or does that little trick of yours heal the body?" Dylflon stabbed at a larger section of his arm this time. "I guess experimentation is the only way to find out."

Dyne saw how much fun Dylflon was having with Fox which left Swan all by himself. "I know you can probably hear your friend shouting in pain over there, and personally I would feel awful for leaving you out, but I don't use knives. Not my style. Getting up close and personal, no that's Dylflon's favor. There's something about pain that just drives him crazy, but I think you know about that."

Dyne called Typhoid over to him. "You see for you," speaking to Swan once again, "I have something special. Much like Dylflon, I want to feed my own curiosity. We've studied you and we broke you pretty well, but I never got the one answer I sort, but things were different then."

Dyne ordered Typhoid to hold Swan's mouth open. Swan attempted to fight and bite but to no avail. "You see, I've been curious as to how much water you can hold before you burst my dear dear friend. And I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this opporunity to find out."

Dyne started forcing water down Swan's open mouth. At first the water overflowed, but soon it became too much and Swan's body became to inhale it all. Dyne watched with an evil glee as Swan's feet began to expand. The water was coursing through his body at a rapid rate.

"I know you have your mouth full at the moment, but I must admit I would love you go for one of your snappy remarks now. Something like how the dam is overflowing or how your water is about to break. Ha! I guess I could do it as well." Typhoid gave his friend a pity laugh.

The feeling of being hopeless had never escaped Swan and Fox. In their short careers, they had come up across some unnatural odds, but they always found a way to survive.

This time however it was different. These were not men driven by greed or lust, these were men with a single purpose and that was the destruction of Swan and Fox. Sure, they had escaped, but there was that wild card. Always that factor you could never account for. Had they known about the bank robbers hidden powers? But they couldn't have or they would have used him sooner or maybe this was one huge setup from the get go.

Weaken Fox and Swan through repeated battles and just when they let their guard down a little bit go in for the kill.

Whatever it was it was working. As Fox stared up at the sky in a great deal of pain, he saw no way out of this situation. He could hear his own groans on top of his friend's waterlogged yips. They had never expected a friendship would turn this sour.

Then Fox saw something in the sky. It flew right past the sun and looked like an angel. No it was more like a bird. Was it their gift from heaven?

Fox closed his eyes and for the first time in a long time. He prayed.
