Killer Moth- Bug Brothers #6
====Twag's Penthouse====
Wasp- Wake up.
Twag- Ahhh... where am I?
Wasp- Home.
Twag- What? No! No, what were you thinking?! What about the show, what happened there?!
Wasp- You screamed. You ran.
*Wasp hands Twag the newspaper*
Twag- No no no no. This is all wrong! All wrong!
*He knocks the coffee table over*
Wasp- Calm down.
Twag- * swallowing a pill* And DeVoe? Walker?
...
Wasp- DeVoe is dead.
...
Twag- And Walker?
...
Wasp- There's still time.
Twag- I give you one instruction... You can't even do that-!
Wasp- They caught Lynns. The GCPD is currently enroute to Van Cleer Manor.
Twag- Yes, yes, I see that... it's too late, without Walker, the plan's meaningless!
Wasp- What is my mission?
Twag- Your missi-? I don't know! Improvise!
*he exits*
Wasp- ...Improvise...
=====Van Cleer Manor=====
Bullock- Alright everybody, set up a perimeter. No one gets in or out.
Miranda- What the hell's going on?!
Bullock- Ah, Mrs Walker, we're looking to have a little chat with your husband.
Miranda- Why?
Bullock- That isn't really any of your business.
Miranda- This is my house and he's my husband, I think I have a right to know why you're barging in here.
Bullock- Oh, you want a reason? How about that your husband's a cold hearted bastard.
Drury- Language, please! There are children upstairs!
*All present officers point their guns at Walker*
Drury-... It's treason then.
Bullock- Enough with the jokes Walker, you're coming with us. Or do you really mean to say you've been in the shower this whole time.
Drury- Well, the only other explanation is that I got past your perimeter and I'm sure that's not possible... Go ahead, ask anyone here, they'll tell you I've been here all day.
Miranda- *to Bullock* That's what I was trying to tell you!
Bullock- 'Course they'd cover for you, they're your family.
Miranda- Yeah. And at least half of them hate him.
Drury- Under half, surely?
Bullock- The point stands.
Drury- For Godsake... are you at least going to tell me what's going on?
Bullock- As if you don't know!
Drury- I asked you a question Sargent, or I am not your mayor?
Bullock- This is... We caught your partner at the scene of the DeVoe murder. The Flash said he saw you too.
Drury- Did he really? Heroes aren't exactly infallible. I should know, twice I've had to do what they wouldn't. If that's all you've got then...
Bullock- Don't talk your way out of this Bugman! It ain't gonna work!
Drury- I'm not-
Gordon- Bullock, what the blazes are you doing here?
Bullock- Commish-
Gordon- I told you not to engage until we had sufficient evidence to make a case.
Bullock- We got his buddy on transfer to Arkham, ain't that evidence enough?
Gordon- Lynns is a loose cannon. And, the Flash has withdrawn his statement, says it was likely a shape-shifter, not Walker himself.
Bullock- He's what-? That's not fair! Superpower asswipes... thinking they can do as they please.
Gordon- Hold yourself together and when you've calmed down, get back over to Gotham Central.
Bullock- This ain't over bug boy! Not by a long shot!
*The cops file out and the door closes behind them*
Miranda- That was close.
Drury- Too close.
...
Drury- Gar.
Miranda- I know, sweetie.
Drury- Gar.
Miranda- Look, I'll put the kettle on ok?
Drury- Yeah.
*She leaves to go to the kitchen just as the phone starts ringing*
Miranda- *from the kitchen* Honey?
Drury- I'll get that!
*He picks up the phone*
Drury- Hello?
???- Drury Walker?
Drury- That's me! Who is this?
Pike- It's... Carmen Pike.
Drury- ...Oh.
Pike- Look, can we talk at my place?
Drury- What? Why?
Pike- I can't talk over the phone. They could be listening.
Drury- Who's listening? ... Norbert?
Pike- I don't know anything about a Norbert but there is someone on *his* payroll.
Drury- Who's payroll? What are you talking about?
Pike- Can you please just come over? My address is-
Drury- Let me get a pen.
*He grabs one*
Drury- Ok, go.
Pike- Twenty Six, Adams Avenue. Hurry.
*Meanwhile, Danto Twag is listening to the phone call, horrified by Pike's betrayal*
Twag- Turn it off.
*Wasp does so, Twag smashes a lamp and leaves the room. Alone in the dark, Killer Wasp ponders to himself*
Wasp- "Improvise"
