Were we tricked? Were we?
Somehow, I don't think Tang is in any mood to hear from the Ring AI right now. Hopefully it'll maintain the process while not being actively worn, because from the sound of it, he just forced it off his finger.
And it seems his emotions are in full riot mode. He normally wouldn't direct that kind of rage at anyone...
...I hope your current clothes aren't the 'teleport on' type OL often used...
Because your brain isn't restricting any emotional outbursts, no matter how they'd normally be kept to your subconscious.
Man, she must nearly be panicking right now...
Little bit in bad taste, but it does kind of fit the situation. Certainly, she's seen the trouble her mother's been going through from rehabilitation.
At least she's being forgiving about it.
Not an actual colour, at least in this universe, but there's Disgust... And it looks like Tang is an ugly-crier.
...Might need to clear your nose, before it clogs up your throat...
Whoa, there's trouble!
Why can't it be both?
At least it didn't stop working on him, unless 'slowly revert' just meant 'take more than a picosecond'...
Not the best comparison. The One Ring was actively malevolent. The Orange Ring is merely accidentally malevolent.
Probably just a little worried what she might do with functionally unlimited power... At least as she understands it, anyway.
That's what happens when you functionally cut off one end of the Spectrum (the Positive, Cold colours of Hope, Compassion and Love) and dampen a lot of the other end (outside of Want, anyway.) Now he's drowning in what he dammed up...
Hopefully he won't need anything more than that. Like wet-wipes...
Mood swing from hell, from absolute terror of her to almost overwhelming love... He did say he'd be suffering from them.
I doubt he'd want anyone else seeing him like this.
Maybe from now on, Tang will keep some handy in the lab...
And no doubt he's wondering why she wants tissues, and can't get them herself.
Oi, open channel, Rob! Tang can hear you, you know.
That's definitely a good thing. Also good that you can't break loose, or apply some super-strength to Robin...
Heh. Maybe if you worked with him, you two could have solved your little issues with your formula (assuming that origin applies here.)
Ah, well, that does make more sense.
Dang, Kid's on the ball. One look and instant rough diagnosis?
Hopefully he doesn't suffer any side effects, then. Though once they can trust him with his Ring, he can patch himself up.
Interesting. Enough flexibility to reach his face, but not move much otherwise? I suppose that explains how he removed the Ring earlier.
Which really does sum up a lot of Alt!Pauls' issues: They're trying to overcome the innate flaws of being merely human.
And now that you're able to think without the Evil Formula's mental effects, I hope you're realising that yes, it was bad for you.
Good point. Though I doubt he's that good an actor.
Don't take it personally, he was a bit crazy, after all. That suspicion's not going away anytime soon.
A definite improvement, then.
Interesting twist.
I never really saw Artemis as the sort of heroine that prioritized comforting people in distress. I just don't see Sportsmaster including that in his "training" sessions, you know?
I SAW IT WHEN I POSTED! I SAW IT WHEN I POSTED!
Thank you, corrected.
Ah yes... To recover from using something called the Evil serum you go after a magical Amulet from someone calling themselves Diablo.
TBF, he's not exactly in a healthy state of mind.
Somehow, I don't they'd be asking that if they could see his emotional landscape. Good gravy, talk about a mood pendulum. And I don't think he'll be okay anytime soon. Safe bet his Ring is currently confiscated for his safety.
At least she's been keeping an eye on him.
He's still a long way from good...
Heart on his sleeve, eh? Or rather, his face.
Heh. Bet he looks a little twitchy, though.
Hopefully he's just winding down his lab work safely.
...I feel kind of called out now, since I noted that loophole. Still, good to see he's following through.Yes, much better to focus on skills and equipment than improving innate characteristics...
Well, they're harder on Ring charge, if nothing else.
There's those trust issues, of course. I don't see them allowing him to make any changes without extensive checks first.
...Uh, no. Hell, no. Anything linked to someone named 'Diablo' is bound to be trouble.
Yes, she has a right to be worried.
Something he's had plenty of experience doling out, of course. No doubt his doctor friend gave him some sharp words early on.
Hardly the thing you want in the hands of someone who just got free of a morality-dispelling serum...
...Oh, they have no idea what he can do if he tries, huh?
That's reassuring, at least. Even at his worst he never crossed that line, then.
Admittedly, any consciousness emulated on an Orange Ring might run a little more avariciously...
Let's not get into that argument, shall we?
Ah, right. Gotham native. She's probably seen her share of mind-control incidents. Hopefully not up close and...
...Personal. Yipes....I mean, he could use it to stabilise his mental state, at least until he can manage it himself...
Once bitten, twice shy. And for good reason.
Chances of that are slim, but hope is always good.
Yeah, one surge of anger or fear, or anything else, and suddenly you're in freefall... Doesn't sound fun at all.
For a start: Half your age, Tang.
On the upside, there's likely to be less 'dates' involving animal testing...
Putting it off until later, I see. Good move.
Well, this could be awkward.
is -> of
gave -> give
Thank you, corrected.
No, I think that's correct.
look around
Missing the ' after alright.
Thank you, corrected.
Missing threadmark.
That should say 'using'.
I still think it's too early to tell for sure.
