"AURA!" Kevin yelled, running over to his fallen friend. Kevin didn't know what to do as he tried to wake Aura up, tapping against her unconscious face.
"I'm sorry Kevin, she's been infected. You are not gonna wake her up like that." Oliver said, trying to reason with Kevin as Candice made her way over to them.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of this. We're better off letting the staff deal with that thing." Candice said, making a decision to focus on helping the girl rather than get in the way of Rio and Sky. Candice pulled out a syringe and lifted Aura's left arm.
"This will stop the infection from spreading. Then we can get to work getting this gunk out of her system. Ollie I'll need your help." Candice said to Oliver, the AI owl gave a nod.
"Of course Ms. McKnight." Oliver said, moving next to his creator as the two went to work on Aura. Kevin stood a bit away from them, as he balled his hands into fists. Kevin was concerned over his friend...but the growing anger he felt from what Viiper had done was creating a new issue.
You sat there and let this thing hurt your friend. What kind of hero are you supposed to be?
I...I tried. There wasn't a thing I could do...
Sure there is. Let me out and I'll get out there and kill that thing. That's what you want right? To make that scum who hurt your friend pay.
What...what I want?
Yes! Now let me out, I'll kill it. I'll make it suffer. For your sake...for Aura's sake.
Candice and Oliver were busy with Aura as Kevin began to change, seeming to take the suggestion of that inner voice to heart. All Kevin had on his mind now was anger, and a desire for vengeance.
