"Oh, thats like the third one this month, love. You're buying me a new one," Izzy grumbled as she flew Gnatman around, making engine noises in the background.

And then Ratman broke from withing Izzy's fingers. Cate gasped. "He's going to haunt us forever!" she said, ignoring the news (which you shall write) in the background.

Gnatman fell to his death and exploded when he hit the carpet, or at least Izzy's sound effects said he did. "BOOOWHOOOOSHOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!"
"-looks like the latest Paroxysm attacks have killed another three people. Bob Schmob, a wealthy falafel salesperson, was caught in the explosion and thrown against a nearby brick wall. Mr. Schmob's two customers also died..." The news droned tonelessly.

"YOU. KILLED. RATMAN!" Cate shouted. "THAT ISN'T NICE." She glanced at the news and stared at it in shock. Bob Schmob? She knew him! He was her friend! He had always given her and Izzy free falafel! "Izzy," she whispered.

"I DID! And you know what? He deserved it! WHY ARE YOU NOT WATCHING ME RANT!" Izzy yelled, glancing at the tv that was distracting Cate from her epic rant.
She saw Bob Schmob's picture on the tv next to a blurry one of Ash and stared. "Oh."

"He can't be dead," Cate said bluntly, picturing her sandy-haired friend with his falafel t-shirt and the black jeans he always wore...

"This is insane. I can't believe...it was bound to happen to someone we knew sometime, I just didn't think...this isn't happening." Izzy mumbled, remembering the amazing falafel they'd always got for free from Bob Schmob.

"Ash wouldn't do that," Cate said denialishly, knowing that she had.

"She didn't mean to." Izzy said firmly, denying even the possibility that Ash could do something like this out of malice.

"It's our fragdaggleing fault he's dead!" Cate said suddenly. "We helped her escape." She stared at the TV, which was now discussing the ways in which falafel was helping Gotham's economy. Bob's face didn't even remain there.

"No, it's Ash's. We did not kill those people, Cate. Ash's decisions are not ours. We let her out because that nutjob Doctor was torturing her, and she's our friend." Izzy replied firmly.

Cate just shrugged. "What does it matter," she muttered. "He's dead."

"It matters because he IS dead, but we are still here. And what we do now based off what happened matters." Izzy said, trying to think through the grief.

"What can we do?" Cate snapped, feeling rather curious. Perhaps Izzy had an idea?

"I don't KNOW. Somehow I don't see Ash just becoming a normal human being overnight, not that we are either, but you know what I mean..." she said hopelessly.
